Baja Adventure: Sandboarding At El Mogote

OVERVIEW

Go sandboarding down the slopes of the Mogote Dunes, a hauntingly beautiful ecosystem along the Gulf of California. You can choose to race down the dunes on a sandboard or a sand sled. The advantages of each one will be explained when you select your equipment. During the briefing that follows at the dunes, the guide will walk you through the basics of sandboarding and offer tips tailored to the board that you chose. Sandboarding is a cross between surfing and snowboarding. But instead of riding a wave or racing down a mountain slope, you will descend the sand dunes with your feet secured in straps on the board. It will be an exhilarating one-of-a-kind experience that you will not soon forget. You can then wind down along the coast with a cool beverage, fresh fruit and a refreshing swim in the gulf, if you like.
