Boca de la Sierra | Miraflores Los Cabos | Cabo San Lucas Real Estate | Cabos Finest Sandra Morgan
Once you have been to the wonderful Baja beaches, you have to expand your realm of exploration into the Sierra de la Lagunas mountians. The Fall is an especially excellent time after the late summer rains. It is then that the cool fresh mountain streams cascade from each of the many canyons on all sides of this impressive mountain range. In this article we will feature the wonderful Boca de la Sierra (Mouth of the Mountains) area just outside of the cute village of Miraflores with means, Look, Flowers!
An hour north of Cabo and 20 minutes north of the San Jose Airport you make your left off Federal Highway 1 at Miraflores. After a few miles you head through this mostly agriculture and cattle town past the church and head a little further north until you see a playground. This is your indicator to scout for the parking area and a clear sign for Boca de la Sierra. The first 50 yards you are wondering whose house you are trespassing by but just keep walking, between the first and second home is a well worn path leading downhill. There is a small open gate made of drift wood and the small river flowing in the valley below. This is your trail to this mountainous playground.
This used to be an fairly hidden jewel but has become very popular with locals and tourists alike. The addition of Cabo Adventures, Outdoor Zip Line Adventure has increased the exposure and the number of people enjoying this area. So don't be surprised when you are swimming in one of the numerous pools when you first hear a screaming tourist zipping overhead. Fun is being had by all and you can swim up stream to get away from the crowds that mostly stay closer to the parking area. There are numerous pools that cascade down the mountain, the further up you go the quieter it becomes.
We like to bring a picnic lunch and make a day of it all. There are a few authentic family owned restaurants in the area as well. This is a dog friendly swimming area so we always take Oakley. Our followers wouldn't want it any other way. You can book a tour and have them take care of the details or rent a vehicle and discover it on your own pace.

Sierra la Laguna May 2016
Trip to Sierra de la Laguna in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
A 4 day hike up to the top El Picacho.
Starting from Todos Santos we took an 8 hours hike up to the base camp which is the place where once the laguna used to be.
This is the perfect spot to set up you tent as it is protected by trees and also because water is very close.
From this point we took a 2,5 hours hike up to the top of the mountain on the second day and a 3 hour hike to the waterfalls on the 3rd day.
There is a second way to reach the base camp and that is when starting from San Dionisio (close to Santiago). This hike takes longer but is not as steep as the one from Todos Santos.
We also hired a guide and 2 donkeys for carrying the heavy equipment. In our planning we included 4 liters of water for the first day hiking: at the base camp the water from the river is drinkable, at least we had no troubles even though we did not boil it.
Plan the hike carefully as you are entering rough terrain with no assistance around you: even cell phone does not work all the time, only in a few exposed spots you get a bit of signal. You need to take everything you need with you, and be prepared for rain as that eventuality is always around.
Best time to go: November through April.
In this time there should be great amount of water and vegetation is green. Temperatures are more comfortable, especially for the long hikes up and down to and from the base camp.
At the base camp temperatures are comfortable although during the night we needed a jumper as it got pretty fresh. We went in late May, so I believe that during the winter it must be even colder.
And don't forget to carefully choose your travel companions, the better the people with you the more awesome the whole trip!! :-)

Mexico's Hidden Gem | Los Barriles, Baja California Sur
In this video you will get a firsthand look at the small coastal town of Los Barriles in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Los Barriles lies on the Sea of Cortez and is backed by the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains giving it a truly magical feel. The beaches have warm turquoise waters and were nearly empty when we were there - it felt like we discovered a hidden paradise. If you are headed to Baja California Sur, don't miss out on visiting the lesser traveled destination of Los Barriles. We think it's one of the best small towns in Mexico.

Section: La Ventana - Primer Aguaje
This was by far the most fun section of the mountain, really technical and slippery. The grip was awful as the ground was very dry, maybe after the rain season when I come back I will be riding faster.
