Adventure
Pinacate Adventure Car ride and walk in a biosphere reserve. Enter the heart of the volcanic region of El Pinacate y Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve, the fourth largest land reserve in Mexico. Considered one of the 13 wonders of Mexico, El Pinacate harbors great geological, biological, cultural and landscape value. Drive around the reserve's 50 mile circuit where you will have the chance to meet El Elegante crater and the only tuff cone in the Reserve, Cerro Colorado. Observe dozens of hardened lava flows and different landscape types, like ocotillo fields and saguaro forests typical of the Sonoran Desert. Learn about the natural processes involved in the formation of this volcanic shield filled with an array of over 400 cinder cones. Drive through the Tohono O'odham sacred grounds and meet their Sacred Mountain, or Shuk Toak. Additionally, don't miss out on the opportunity to witness this site's unique biodiversity and engagement in landscape photography.
