Los Cabos: Hiking at the Fox Canyon with Waterfall
Overview
The Santiago region is home to one of the most remarkable natural contrasts in Baja California Sur. Water flowing from the Sierra de la Laguna supports freshwater pools, streams, and canyon ecosystems that thrive within an otherwise arid landscape. Over thousands of years, this water has shaped the rock formations and natural pools found at Sol de Mayo. The area provides a rare opportunity to experience an oasis environment while learning about the geological and ecological processes that make it possible. Combined with hiking, swimming, and local culture, the experience reveals a side of Baja California Sur many visitors never expect to find.

What To Expect
Discover one of Baja California Sur's most surprising natural landscapes on a hiking adventure to Fox Canyon and Sol de Mayo Waterfall. Leaving the coastline behind, you'll travel into the Santiago region, where desert scenery gradually transforms into a freshwater oasis hidden within the Sierra de la Laguna foothills.
Upon arrival, follow canyon trails leading to natural pools, rocky formations, and the waterfall itself. Along the way, your guide shares insights into the region's geology, ecosystems, and the unique relationship between water and desert environments. Enjoy time to hike, swim, relax, and explore before continuing to Rancho Ecológico Sol de Mayo for a traditional Baja-style lunch. A brief stop at the Tropic of Cancer completes the experience before returning to Los Cabos, offering a different perspective of Baja California Sur beyond its beaches.
