Los Cabos: Migriño Desert UTV Tour & Tequila Tasting

Summary

Off-road through Baja’s wild desert to Pacific beaches with local flavor

You’ll ride through Baja’s wild desert trails in a UTV with a local guide from Los Cabos, catch glimpses of whales by Margaritas Beach, and end with a tequila tasting back at base. Expect hotel pickup, safety gear included, and plenty of stories along the way — plus that salty air you won’t forget soon.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the dust — not in a bad way, but that dry, sun-baked smell that hits when you step out at G-Force Adventures Park. We’d just been picked up in Los Cabos (felt good not to drive), and already the guide, Luis, was cracking jokes about how my sunglasses would never be the same. He handed us helmets and gave this safety talk that was half instructions, half stories about people getting stuck in sand (he swears it wasn’t him). I liked him right away.

Once we got going in the UTVs — those side-by-side things that feel like go-karts for grownups — the trail shifted fast. One minute it’s all brittle brush and cactus shadows; then suddenly you’re bouncing along a dry riverbed, tires kicking up little rocks. There’s this weird contrast: white sand under your wheels, but you can smell salt in the air. At some point I lost track of time because Margaritas Beach just appeared — blue Pacific stretching out forever. Luis pointed out some whales spouting way off (I think I saw them? Or maybe just spray), and he showed us these plants you can eat if you get lost out here. Not that I’d trust myself to remember which ones.

I tried yelling something over the engine noise but mostly just laughed at how ridiculous we all looked with our goggles fogging up. The light changed as we hit the dunes — almost golden, sharp on one side of your face. There were moments where everything went quiet except for the wind and some distant waves crashing. Didn’t expect to feel so small out there.

Back at base, someone handed me a shot of tequila (three kinds actually — smoky, sweet, something else I couldn’t name). Luis toasted “to surviving” and even poured a tiny bit on the ground for luck. My hands were still buzzing from holding the wheel too tight. I keep thinking about that stretch of empty sand meeting ocean — feels like it’s still stuck somewhere behind my eyes.
