Culture and Nature at
Sierra La Laguna
Trip overview
Don’t miss out on one of southern Baja’s most biodiverse and least visited natural protected areas. Looming up out of the desert, the Sierra de la Laguna Biosphere Reserve boasts waterfalls, thermal pools, and the region’s only pine and oak forests. A short detour from the main highway will take you up into the sierra. Take a guided nature excursion that will stimulate all your senses and unlock the secrets that make the Sierra de la Laguna such a unique destination. You will learn about its geological formations, history and anthropology, the diversity of flora and fauna that inhabit the reserve and their traditional uses. Spend time with the farm animals, pick your own vegetables in the organic garden, and swim in the natural pools. Finally enjoy a traditional homemade meal and learn how to make your own hand-made tortillas.

Climate and weather: La Paz is situated on the Gulf of California on the southern part of the Baja California peninsula. It is separated from the Pacific by a desert environment with low mountains in between. We get large temperature swings, typically in the late fall and spring, up to 104 degrees fahrenheit (40 degrees celsius). This can be true even during winter. Outside of summer, we recommend packing for HOT and COLD weather. Most importantly, be prepared for a sun that’s stronger than you may be used to due to our latitude. Remember, a sunburn takes just a couple hours to develop, but it can ruin the rest of your trip. Stay shaded and stay hydrated.
-
Luggage: For day trips, you’ll want to bring a small bag or backpack for your water bottle and personal items.
