Los Cabos: Hiking at the Fox Canyon with Waterfall
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.
