About the Candelaria Village Tour

The Candelaria Village ATV and UTV tour is the most immersive off-road experience available in Los Cabos. Unlike shorter beach tours, this 5-hour adventure takes you deep into the Sierra de la Laguna mountains of Baja California Sur — terrain that most Cabo San Lucas visitors never see.

What Makes This Tour Special

  • Historic Candelaria Village — Visit centuries-old mission ruins and meet local families who have lived here for generations
  • Dramatic desert canyons — Navigate through narrow arroyos, rocky ridges, and hidden oases
  • Multiple vehicle options — Choose from single ATVs, double UTVs (side-by-side), or high-performance Can-Am X3 buggies
  • Local Baja-born guides — Our guides grew up on these trails and share the history and stories of the region

The Route

Departing from Cabo San Lucas, you will ride through the open Baja desert before entering the dramatic canyon system that leads to Candelaria. The terrain shifts from sandy desert to rocky mountain trails, with stops at scenic overlooks and natural springs along the way. At the village, you will explore the mission ruins and enjoy a rest before the return journey through a different route.

Who Is This Tour For?

This tour is rated moderate difficulty with some technical terrain. Recommended for riders aged 12 and older. Perfect for adventure seekers, photography enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to experience the authentic, untouched Baja California Sur landscape beyond the resort zone.
