What’s the experience like?

I’ll admit, I was nervous when they handed me the helmet — not sure if it was the thought of driving an ATV through the Los Cabos desert or just my own clumsy reputation. Our guide, Luis, grinned like he’d seen it all before and promised we’d get the hang of it after a few laps on the practice circuit. The engine’s rumble felt weirdly comforting after that first jolt. Sand everywhere, sun already warming up my arms, and this dry, salty smell I still can’t quite describe.

Once we got rolling for real, it was just us and these endless off-road trails — sometimes you’d hit a bump and laugh out loud because you didn’t expect it (I did, anyway). Luis pointed out cacti with names I couldn’t pronounce; he said one flower only opens when it rains. We zipped past dry riverbeds and every now and then you’d hear the ocean before you saw it — that low Pacific roar mixing with the sound of engines and someone’s whoop behind me. The main keyword here is definitely “ATV tour Los Cabos,” but honestly, it felt more like being let loose in another world for two hours.

After all that dust and adrenaline, we ended up at this palapa with a full 360° view — honestly, I didn’t want to take my helmet off yet. But then came the tequila tasting (which I was way better at than driving). The guy pouring explained how each type is made; he laughed when I tried to say “reposado” right. There’s something about sipping tequila with sand still on your face that makes you feel like you earned it. I keep thinking about that view over Baja, even now.
