It was a long voyage that spanned an area of just over 12,500 square kilometres, beginning in the breathtaking beaches of San Juanico, which are home to one of the world’s largest waves and are, unsurprisingly, a surfing haven.

A visit to La Pursima, an ejido with a land area of almost 5,000 square kilometres and renowned for the Cerro El Pilón, was on the schedule. It has hiking trails with varying degrees of difficulty. Photography enthusiasts are challenged and intrigued by the juxtaposition between the oases’ bodies of water and the peninsula’s desert-like terrain.
Despite being a small region, Puerto Adolfo López Mateos is the most significant commercial and tourist port in Comondú. It is a sanctuary for grey whales where you can have very close contact and even pet these majestic creatures. It’s an indescribable feeling!
Only three kilometres separate San José de Comond and San Miguel de Comond, where a visit to the cave paintings and basaltic prisms with breathtaking geometrical shapes and designs is a must.
It wasn’t all nature and history excursions. The Rancho Aprisco de la Toba was also visited. They arranged a sampling of goat cheeses which was presented by several Medina family members, Adolfo Ramírez León, and food engineer Fernando Gómez Monterde, as part of this livestock and agriculture project.

Truly, it’s a journey you’ll want to plan, experience and cherish for many years.
