The pavement disappears. Cardón cacti — the tallest in the world — start to appear, along with the dirt trails local fishermen have used for generations. The contrast between dry desert and turquoise water at the end of the ride is one of those moments you can't really anticipate — and won't forget. --- ### The route The tour heads out from La Paz toward El Coyote — a stretch of coastline that conventional tourists never find. The trail crosses dry arroyos, sand dunes, and natural lookout points with panoramic views of the Gulf. The route ends at the beach. Sand, turquoise water, silence. The contrast with the desert you just crossed makes the arrival especially striking. Depending on the route, we also pass through **Tecolote Beach** — with the best views of Espíritu Santo Island from dry land. **Duration:** flexible depending on the selected route **Departure:** from our main office or from the ranch, depending on the vehicle --- ### The vehicles **ATV** — for one or two riders. The most agile and most physical option. A driver's license is required. **UTV / Side-by-side (RZR)** — seats up to 4 passengers. More stable, more comfortable for groups or couples. Ideal if you want the adrenaline without the physical demands of an ATV. **4x4** — a guided off-road vehicle. The most accessible option for anyone who'd rather ride as a passenger and enjoy the scenery without driving. --- ### What's included - Certified bilingual guide throughout the ride - Exploration of little-traveled trails through the Baja desert - Stops at natural lookout points - Arrival at a pristine beach on the Gulf shoreline - Safety gear: helmet included - Fuel for the ride **Not included:** snacks and drinks · personal travel insurance **Free cancellation** up to 7 days before. No refund within 48 hours. --- ### What you need to know - **Driver's license:** required to drive an ATV or UTV. - **Recommended clothing:** long sleeves · sunscreen · sunglasses · hat or cap · swimsuit underneath if you want to swim once you arrive. - **Not recommended for:** people with back or neck problems · pregnant travelers. - **Weather matters:** the Baja desert has changing conditions. Heavy rain days can alter the route. --- > *"If I could give 10 stars I would. This was a magical and truly different experience that I will always remember. The ride to the beach was spectacular. The ride back was even better."* --- ### Ready to cross the desert? **\[BOOK NOW\]** · WhatsApp **+52 612 155 1900** See full details and book directly on the [Desert & Beach Off-Road](https://lapazcitymap.com/desert-beach-off-road-adventure-la-paz?hsLang=en) page · or request a [custom quote](https://lapazcitymap.com/get-quote?hsLang=en) for your group. *Free cancellation up to 7 days before.* --- ### You might also like | **Sandboarding El Mogote** · The dunes that sing | **Tecolote Beach** · A direct view of Espíritu Santo Island | **Balandra & Tecolote** · La Paz's two most iconic beaches | | --- | --- | --- | ##### Popular content - [Everything You Need to Know Before Your Isla Espíritu Santo Tour](https://lapazcitymap.com/blog/isla-espiritu-santo-recommendations?hsLang=en) - [Port Closed by authorities because Weather conditions in 2026](https://lapazcitymap.com/blog/port-closed-by-authorities-because-weather-conditions-in-2026?hsLang=en) - [Balandra Beach 2026: Entry Fee, Reservations & Tips](https://lapazcitymap.com/blog/balandra-beach-guide?hsLang=en) - [Whale Shark Tour in La Paz: Key Recommendations for a Memorable Adventure](https://lapazcitymap.com/blog/whale-shark-tour-in-la-paz-key-recommendations-for-a-memorable-adventure?hsLang=en) - [Why Do Authorities Regulate Whale Shark Tours in La Paz? 🦈](https://lapazcitymap.com/blog/why-do-authorities-regulate-whale-shark-tours-in-la-paz?hsLang=en) ## Blog comments ## Related posts [![Sandboarding at El Mogote — La Paz](https://lapazcitymap.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/Panoramic%20Sand%20Dunes%20at%20Sunset%20with%20People%20Descending.png?height=500&name=Panoramic%20Sand%20Dunes%20at%20Sunset%20with%20People%20Descending.png)](https://lapazcitymap.com/blog/sandboarding-el-mogote-la-paz?hsLang=en) [Experiences](https://lapazcitymap.com/blog/tag/experiences) 2 min read. ## [Sandboarding at El Mogote — La Paz](https://lapazcitymap.com/blog/sandboarding-el-mogote-la-paz?hsLang=en) [Rob](https://lapazcitymap.com/blog/author/rob) Jul 17, 2026, 2:02:01 PM Ride down with the Gulf of California as your backdrop.
