This full day adventure offers a rare and memorable visit to the small Mexican village of Boquillas, blending cultural discovery with scenic paddling and hiking. Guests are transported to the Boquillas Crossing where, after a brief orientation, the journey continues across the border to meet a local guide. From there, you will paddle canoes through calm river waters beneath the foothills of the Sierra del Caballo Muerto, learning about the river’s role in shaping both the landscape and village life. A light lunch featuring a local specialty provides a welcome break before continuing the experience.
After lunch, the adventure turns more active with a guided hike to the Boquillas Canyon Overlook, rewarding participants with sweeping views of the surrounding desert and canyon terrain. Following the hike, guests return to the village to explore local restaurants, shops, and crafts at their own pace. The day concludes with a return crossing to the United States and transportation back, leaving you with a deeper appreciation for the region’s culture, history, and natural beauty.
