Active Pursuits: All-Terrain Vehicles Frommer

Travel agencies book expeditions on all-terrain vehicles to Cabo Falso (an 1890 lighthouse) and La Candelaria (an Indian pueblo in the mountains). A 440-pound weight limit per two-person vehicle applies to both tours. The 3-hour tour to Cabo Falso includes a stop at the beach, a look at some sea-turtle nests (without disturbing them) and the remains of a 1912 shipwreck, a ride over 500-foot sand dunes, and a visit to the lighthouse. Guided tours cost around $45 per person on a single bike or $60 for two riding on one ATV. The vehicles are also available for rent at $35 for 3 hours.

La Candelaria is an isolated Indian village in the mountains 40km (25 miles) north of Cabo San Lucas. The old pueblo is known for the white and black witchcraft that is still practiced here. Lush with palms, mango trees, and bamboo, the settlement gets its water from an underground river that emerges at the pueblo. Retuning, you'll travel down a steep canyon, along a beach (with time to swim), and past giant sea turtle nesting grounds. The La Candelaria tour, which begins at 9am, costs around $80 per person or $100 for two people on the same ATV.
