Today you will walk along the dry riverbed of a canyon steeped in history. Along the way, your specialist guide will share native traditions and talk about the desert flora and fauna endemic to this area.
A majestic marine fossil wall illustrates how the Baja Peninsula was once completely submerged under the sea. If you look carefully, you may find something as distinctive as a shark tooth or sea urchin spicules among the many fossilized shells and bones embedded in the canyon walls.
Take a break for a snack of granola bars and water.
