Muelle Fiscal to Balandra Hike
The tour begins at Muelle Fiscal in La Paz where participants board a panga boat to El Tecolote beach. From there, they hike about 3 km over rocky and sandy terrain for roughly one hour, passing beaches, cliffs, intertidal zones, and desert views. Shoes may become wet depending on the tide. Upon arriving at Balandra, lunch is served with fresh local ceviche and vegan options if requested. After lunch, the group kayaks through mangroves and nearby beaches in tandem sit-on-top kayaks with life jackets, suitable for individuals weighing up to 100 kg. The trip continues by boat to San Rafaelito for snorkeling near sea lions that use the area for resting but not breeding. The itinerary may adjust slightly due to wind, waves, and tide conditions. An intermediate fitness level is required. Return to the starting point is planned around 3:30 pm.
