Hiking

There are numerous opportunities for hikes. If you want a guide or printed information to make the most of your walk, head to either of the town’s two language schools [1]. One of the most popular walks is to the site of Las Letras, the town’s equivalent of the “Hollywood” sign overlooking California’s famous neighborhood.

The Todos Santos [2] version is a series of white painted rocks above town, with an arrangement that might be illegible depending on when they were last reassembled. It’s about a two-hour hike round-trip.

From there, you can continue another five hours to the villages of Tuicoy and Tzichim. La Puerta del Cielo is another amazing lookout point accessible via a detour from Tuicoy. A five-hour trek from Todos Santos is the village of San Juan Atitán, up the ridge looming over the village and down into a valley, crossing streams and verdant forests along the way.
