On Day 4, we bid farewell to the stunning Sea of Cortez and venture east back into Baja's desert landscape. As we leave the coastline behind, the terrain begins to shift from sandy shores to vast, arid expanses, giving us a deeper sense of Baja's raw, rugged beauty.
After a scenic drive through the desert, we’ll reach the center of the Baja Peninsula and turn north toward the town of Cateviña. This region is known for its unique desert flora, including the striking Cardón cacti, and the dramatic, rugged landscape that defines this part of Baja.
Late in the afternoon, we’ll arrive at a private ranch, tucked away in this remote desert expanse. This ranch is not just a place to camp—it’s a historic site that holds ancient rock art created by the indigenous peoples of the region. Our guides will take you on a short hike to explore these ancient petroglyphs, giving you a glimpse into the area’s rich cultural and spiritual history.
As the day winds down, we’ll settle in at the ranch, where you can relax by a desert oasis surrounded by lush vegetation and desert wildlife. The oasis is the perfect spot to unwind, take in the peaceful desert surroundings, and reflect on the incredible journey so far.
Dinner tonight will be prepared with fresh ingredients and served in this tranquil, off-the-beaten-path setting. After the meal, we’ll gather around the campfire once again, under the stars, to share stories and enjoy the serenity of this remote desert haven.
