“Danny, our tour guide was excellent. Knowledgeable about Todo Santo the city and the terrain during our hike. Bring hiking shoes!!! The terrain was not for beginners, on the rocky side where we went. The journey to the top was not easy BUT well worth it. Absolutely STUNNING views. Watching the sun set at the top of the mountain was breathtaking!! We felt safe in Danny’s care and he guided us back down the easier side when we were done and provided head lamps. But not before we gazed at the stars for awhile on a platform used for yoga during the day. The journey to get there was 1.5…”

Then a drive to the ranch. After arriving your guide will take you on an ATV to the trail head. Our guide Pablo took his time to tell us about all the different cactus in the area. We were even lucky enough to get to try the Pitaya fruit! The hike its self isn’t very difficult but does offer mixed terrain. A pair of good walking shoes should be fine.…”

“Early morning start is ideal - more folks appear on the trail later in the morning. You will want to be in decent shape, because parts of the trail are steep and technical. Great views on the ascent and at the very top. We completed a 3.5 mile loop within 2 hours. Leo is a great guide. Lots of excellent experience and knowledge concerning Cabo, available tours, history, culture, and terrain. He was well-prepared to lead a hike with water, snacks, and a first aid kit. He also made sure we had several photos of our hike. Had some great suggestions for the rest of our visit, as well. Thank…”
