Peace lives in these canyons
The Sierra de la Giganta rises straight out of the sea — a labyrinth of canyons, oases, and semi-desert trails waiting to be walked. Hike at your own pace through dramatic canyon walls, feel the desert under your feet, and discover hidden oases where you can reconnect with the rhythm of nature.

A private, personalized experience away from the crowds — with a delicious lunch included, tailored to your taste.
Las Parras Canyon
Follow the old Camino Real to the San Javier mission through a lush canyon that is great for all ages. An easy and very pleasurable hike — usually with water — and an excellent spot for bird watching along the way.
Canyon Tabor
One of the most beautiful canyons in the Sierra de la Giganta. Climb dramatic slopes and large boulders with rope passages, and take in sweeping views of the surrounding sierra. This hike is not for everyone — you need to be physically fit and have some hiking experience.

A pleasant hike along wonderful paths through striking geologic fault formations. Enjoy sweeping desert views, unique cacti, and diverse flora and fauna — and if conditions allow, cool off in a natural waterfall along the way.
