Beach Camel Ride Adventure With Lunch

OVERVIEW

Ride a camel caravan-style along one of the most beautiful beaches in Baja California and celebrate the adventure while dining on Mexican specialties and sampling tequilas. Camels are well-suited to traveling across sand as they have been used for transportation in the desert for centuries. As you will discover firsthand, camels have a side-to-side gait that has been likened to riding ocean waves. You will not only ride one of these so-called “ships of the desert,” but also learn fascinating facts about their characteristics and behavior. It is a common misconception that camels store water in their humps; rather, their humps are composed of fibrous tissue and fat that reduces heat-trapping and is a source of energy. You will discover more about these extraordinary animals while interacting with them following your adventurous ride. After enjoying some handmade tortillas, beans and salsas, you will enjoy a tasting of classic Mexican tequilas.
