Hiking trails

4 trails

Canyon hike with swimming holes, Outside town (Santiago area, day-trip)

4.5-5 miles. Two great water holes for swimming and jumping. Hike to El Chorro hot springs.

Flat, scenic, South Beach

Easy walk through the cactus forest south of town. Good in the late afternoon when the light hits the cardónes sideways.

Mountain range with multiple trails, Outside town (1-2 hours)

Biosphere Reserve. Day hikes and multi-day options. Higher elevation, cooler temperatures.

Full day, Outside town

Two hours' drive, then a real hike to a series of waterfalls and pools. The kind of day that resets your head.
