All Terrain Adventure in Cabo San Lucas
ATV tours and off-roading excursions are a popular activity around Cabo San Lucas. You can enjoy desert and ocean experiences on one trip as you trek through the mountains, canyons, and rugged terrain beyond the rainforests of Cabo. Most of these excursions are half-day tours that can take you to sites around the Migrino, Half Moon Canyon and La Candelaria, an indigenous village. Some tours include dining at a Mexican restaurant or other local eateries to round out your experience.
