Magical Todos Santos Tour with Camel Ranch, Lunch, and Tequila

This six-hour, bilingual guided tour explores Todos Santos, a town registered in Mexico as a Pueblo Mágico for its history and charm, and finishes at a private camel ranch with lunch and a tequila tasting. It is a day for people who want context as well as scenery: the guide covers the culture of the region and the story and scandal surrounding the Hotel California.

The first part of the day, planned for about 120 minutes, is spent on foot in town. With your guide you visit a local bazaar, the historic mission and theater, and narrow cobblestone streets lined with art galleries hosted by local artists. A stop at a jewelry store, run by the owners of a natural pearl farm in the ocean off La Paz, explains how natural pearls form, and you can buy a unique gift if you wish.

You also get free time at the famous Hotel California. From there the group heads to a family-owned carpet-making factory close to the small fishing town of Pescadero, where you can watch rugs being made by hand, and perhaps take one home. The free time in town is also a chance to shop for gifts.

The second part, about 90 minutes, takes place at Tierra Sagrada, a private ranch that is home to a family of camels. You meet the camel carers, learn about the animals and pose for a "camel kiss" photo. A stroll through the local flora and fauna leads to an oceanfront restaurant with a Mexican buffet, including freshly made quesadillas, a variety of Mexican dishes and homemade salsas. The day closes with a tequila and mezcal tasting.

The tour suits travelers curious about local history and crafts, and those who enjoy a mix of walking, food and animals. Guests must be fully mobile to enjoy the walking portion, though the tour is listed as suitable for all physical fitness levels. Vegetarian options are available on the buffet.

Round-trip transportation, lunch and a bilingual English and Spanish official guide are included, along with free time for shopping. Optional gratuities are not included. Pickup is approximately one hour before the tour start time, and the time and location are confirmed within 24 hours of booking in the contact tour operator chat. Look for a white van or bus at the pickup location. If you do not see your hotel in the list, try typing its name in the search bar of the dropdown.
