ECO-TOURISM & SIGHTSEEING
The
Great Sonora Desert
encompasses a large and diverse subtropical region extending from the west
coast of Baja California to the western flank of Mexico's Sierra Madre
Mountains. Within this vast expanse, the area surrounding San Felipe has
been designated as The San Felipe Desert.
The terrain varies from relatively flat
sandy brush land to incredibly rugged almost impassable canyons. With some
areas receiving as little as 3 cm of annual rain, many unique plans have
chosen to call this area home. |

The Valley of the Giants -
A natural
Reserve of the 1,000-year old Cardon Cactus. The largest cactus in the
world, the San Felipe Desert is the northern most extent of their range.
Konsag Island -
Konsag is visible from the beach at any point around the bay, appearing at
first glance to be a sail. The Island offers an assortment of sea lions,
seals, and vast colonies of sea birds.
Punta Estrella -
Punta Estrella has a breathtaking panoramic view beyond the
meaning of the word as it encompasses the whole bay to the west and
northwest and the
Sea of
Cortez
to the east.
Sierra San Pedro Martír - The tallest mountain range in Baja, the Sierra San Pedro
Martír forms the western boundary of the San Felipe Desert.
Wildlife
- In addition to an assortment of sea and
desert birds, the San Felipe Desert is home to a variety of insects,
reptiles, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, mountain sheep, and vicious
cholla-chomping jackrabbits. |

SPORT FISHING
Whether you bring your own boat or hire the
services of a local "Panguero," The Sea of Cortez offers good to excellent
sport fishing, depending upon the season. Although December through March
is the premier season, an abundance of seasonal game fish will satisfy
most anglers year round. Corvina, Lisa (mackerel family), and Cochito
(triggerfish) are the most abundant of the local game fish – off shore in
deeper waters, White Sea Bass.
Fishing trip rates vary and are negotiable based on season, gas prices,
fishing duration, supply and demand, number of anglers etc. Expect to pay
anywhere from $90 - $120 to rent a Panga for 5 hours. Mexican Fishing
licenses are required - sold at the Port Captain's office in the local
Marina.
The cost per person is approximately $6 per day, $16 per week, and $31 per
year. Boat licenses range in price based on boat size, starting around $26
per year, for boats under 23’. |
TONY REYES FISHING
Mile long fish boils, feeding
frenzies, massive groupers capable of towing pangas and severing the
heaviest of lines - nothing new for Tony Reyes.
He has experienced these
sights year in and year out for over 42 years. When it comes to putting
the angler on the action spots or the diver right in the middle of awesome
underwater worlds, probably no one is more qualified than Tony Reyes.
Let him share with you
the endless, explored beaches, the simplicity of the people and, of
course, countless varieties of fish.
