You will hop on an ATV for your guided trip into the mountains to visit this secluded historic place. We’ll first explore El Salto, a small waterfall that runs most of the year towards Los Pozos (the wells) where a small, well-preserved church still stands after 100 years, and still serves the local people. The next destination will be the town of La Candelaria, which is an antique 200-year-old Indian village, which preserves its entire natural environment, conformed by the village, the desert, and Migriño beach. This little town is located in the municipality of Los Cabos in the Mexican State of Baja California Sur. The total current population of La Candelaria is 128 people. In La Candelaria, you'll see the church, orchards, and species of animals indigenous to the region such as iguanas, doves, and hares. The people of La Candelaria are known for their long lifespans - most residents live well into their 90s!

    Candelaria Beach & Desert: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cabo San Lucas.

    How much does Candelaria Beach & Desert cost?

    +

    Prices start at $149 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cabo San Lucas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Candelaria Beach & Desert take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cabo San Lucas is not rushed.

    Is Candelaria Beach & Desert worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cabo San Lucas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Candelaria Beach & Desert?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Candelaria Beach & Desert suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Candelaria Beach & Desert?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cabo San Lucas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cabo San Lucas and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Candelaria Beach & Desert start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cabo San Lucas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cabo San Lucas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting, Cabo Whale Watching: Female Crew, Guaranteed Sightings, Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cabo San Lucas?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Candelaria Beach & Desert?

    +

    Included: Complete safety equipment (helmet, gloves and bandana); Bilingual guide & Bottled water; and Round Trip transportation. Not included: Land conservation fee; Gratuities, Professional photo service & Snack bar service; ATV Collision Insurance; and UTV Collisioon Insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Candelaria Beach & Desert?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Candelaria Beach & Desert wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Candelaria Beach & Desert if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
