Miraflores used to be the largest saddlery in Baja California South, but due to the growth of the tourist industry and the decline in the consumption of these products, the activity ended up being much less important. After we visit the saddlers in town, we will visit the rustic furniture makers; great activity with a very amazing concept as each wooden furniture is distinguished by being unique and different from others, because they are designed and manufactured in based on the shape of the tree, and in which only fallen trees of the surrounding areas are used. Here at Miraflores, we'll also visit the House of Culture, where you will see different traditional clothing that people have used over time.

Santiago is an agricultural village with stunning views and incredible vegetation, home to the only existing zoo of the two Baja’s. Contrary of what you might think, the zoo is small in size and number of animal species. After visiting the zoo, we'll visit the Mission of the town. Soon we arrive to Buena Vista, we'll visit the small-town hotel where you'll discover the amazing hot springs that flow below the building and into the beach. According to some historical background, they were discovered accidentally when digging wells for water, which is very scarce in this area. The thermal water is so hot that the hotel uses cooling systems to lower its temperature. Also, the pumping system has some internal parts made ​​of gold, in order to withstand the temperature and corrosive minerals contained in the water.

Right here in Buena Vista, we'll visit the old Military Hacienda of General Olachea and once again in our van, we'll climb “el Cerro de la Bandera” (Flag Hill), to enjoy one of the most impressive panoramic views in the East Cape area.
