The staff and locals were on hand to point us in the right direction if we were too far off course, but honestly, the route is so well mapped out that you can't stray far. We had a great time and got some exercise too!”

13.Todos Santos Treasure Hunt

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 2 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Baja Treasure Hunt sends you on a self-guided walk through central Todos Santos. Download the PDF, follow clues tied to buildings, sculptures, and permanent features, and solve the route at your own pace. Plan for about two hours, several miles of walking, photo stops, and uneven streets.

“First off read all the pages thoroughly. There’s a Google maps directional page which helps out. The first few pages with the small quotes is cute but not entirely easy to follow. Some things were off with the way it was written. When they’re telling you to look up, it’s actually to your side further down the road etc, and some other instructions were a little too vague. But overall it did take you to general locations that you can find online. We made pit stops for food and water along the way. If you want a simple itinerary for things to see this is not a bad purchase.”
