This expedition explores some of Baja's finest coastal scenery between La Paz and Loreto in Baja California Sur. It is one of the most remote coastal areas in Baja, with no maintained road access, and only a few small villages where fisherman live, untouched by the trappings of the modern world. We are overlooked by the spectacular mountains of the Sierra La Giganta range, which provide a marvelous backdrop to this rugged coastline and secret coves that can only be reached by boat. The early morning and late afternoon sun create an artist's palette of colors and shadows that add to the area's mysticism and enchantment. It is an area so beautiful you will want to return again and again... be forewarned!
The itinerary:
- Day 1: Arrive in La Paz. 9.00 pm. Introductions and trip briefing at hotel.
- Day 2: They say 'the reward lies in the journey'. Indeed, the trip into Agua Verde is the beginning of a fantastic adventure. The dirt road that accesses this fishing village and the 'put in'; gives us breath-taking vistas of the sea of Cortez and off shore islands in the hazy distance as it precariously winds its way thousands of feet down the face of the Sierras to sea level. (not for the faint hearted!) After our safety talk and kayak orientation (read, dunk test) we will begin our first afternoon's paddle to a nearby beach to set camp for our first night under the stars.
- Day 3 - 7: We continue south along the coastline, stopping to camp and explore a new bay each night. Depending on the group paddling speed and weather conditions, we may have time for a layover day. Ultimately, our goal is to get to San Evaristo, some 50 miles south of Agua Verde. The snorkeling opportunities are amazing - rock gardens and shoals that are home to a dazzling array of colorful fish and other marine life. We may see dolphins, whales and giant manta rays breaking the water's surface. There are also some intriguing hikes to stretch your legs between kayaking.
- Day 8: Our final morning's paddle to San Evaristo followed by boat and van transfer back to La Paz. Farewell dinner and night in La Paz hotel.
- Day 9: Breakfast and fly home... until the next adventure in Baja!
Note: Depending on the group's paddling speed we may extend the journey to take out at Punta Coyote.
Paddling time: an average of 4 hours/day. Previous experience not necessary but "must" have a sense of adventure and love camping. Arrange flight into and out of La Paz or San Jose del Cabo.
Group size: Min 6 - Max 14
