Overview

  • Adventure in La Paz doesn't end at the sea. Just 20 minutes from the city, El Mogote rises between the desert and La Paz Bay, with sand dunes reaching up to 100 feet high.

    Strap on a sandboard and turn the Baja desert into your playground. Start small, build your confidence and work your way towards the higher dunes, with spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez waiting at the top.

    With a maximum of just 8 guests, the experience stays small and personal, giving you more time with your guide as you learn, ride and make your way across the dunes.

    And just when you think the views can't get better, the sun begins to set. Watch golden light sweep across the sand, cactus-filled desert and Sea of Cortez from the top of the dunes.

    It's an unusual combination you won't find on an ordinary beach day: 100-foot dunes, sandboarding, Baja desert, Sea of Cortez views and a spectacular sunset—all just minutes from La Paz.

Activity itinerary

Ready to try something new, fun and completely different? Your adventure begins between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM, depending on the time of sunset throughout the year. Head into the stunning Baja desert towards El Mogote, just 20 minutes outside La Paz. Surrounded by towering dunes, cactus-filled desert and spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez, you'll discover one of Baja's most exciting outdoor playgrounds. Your guide will teach you the basics of sandboarding—similar to snowboarding, but on sand. Start on the smaller dunes, build your confidence and gradually work your way up to the highest peaks. Then ride down, climb back up and do it all over again! Whether you're trying sandboarding for the first time, sharing the adventure with friends or looking for something fun to do as a family, El Mogote turns an afternoon in the desert into something completely different. And then comes the grand finale: sunset. Climb the dunes as golden light spreads across the sand and take in spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez and cactus-filled Baja landscape. Sandboarding, towering dunes, Sea of Cortez views and a spectacular Baja sunset—this is one La Paz adventure you won't want to miss!
