Hiking to Desert Palm Oases of San Carlos with a Biologist
Mexico
$60.00
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after
they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
This is a unique hike, unlike most tourist activities, in that you will be accompanied by a local biologist that will assist you in finding and identifying the diverse plants and animals of the region. We will be hiking to the canyon of El Silencio and the spring El Ojo de Agua. Both of these trails are located on private property with limited access within the protected area known as the Reserva Especial de la Biosfera Cajón del Diablo. The microclimate at these locations is wetter and cooler than the surrounding desert creating an oasis with an abundance of native fan palms amongst lush vegetation. The habitat resembles tropical deciduous forests found further south and here many tropical species find their most northern distribution.
