San Quintín is a coastal town located south of Ensenada in Baja California, known for its wet fields, volcanic landscapes, sand dunes and pristine beaches. Popular activities include exploring the nearby volcanic craters, visiting sandy beaches and enjoying fresh seafood, especially oysters. Besides hiking and beach days, you will be able to explore the wet lands in kayak.

What to do: 

Visiting one of the oyster farms you’ll learn about the oyster farming process, enjoy fresh tastings, and gain insight into the importance of this activity for the local economy.

Head to one of the nearby volcanoes (maybe Sudoeste) for a hike (sunrise or sunset for better view). And get ready for spectacular views of the “humedales” from the summit. Don’t forget to bring plenty of water and sun protection.

Camp in one of the protected areas of Terra Peninsular. These reserves are carefully managed to conserve local biodiversity, allowing you to connect with nature in an almost untouched environment. Be sure to follow “leave no trace” practices to minimize your impact on the area.
