Tabor Canyon
Cañón Tabor
A canyon of giant boulders near Puerto Escondido, where you scramble among huge granite rocks. There are seasonal pools at its far end.
Tabor Canyon lies on the eastern foot of the Sierra de la Giganta, near Puerto Escondido, and is Loreto's most popular hiking route. The trail runs through a dry riverbed. The boulders grow larger the deeper you go, and you need to climb using both hands and feet. At the far end of the canyon, after the rainy season, there are cool pools and small waterfalls. It is 2 km one way and takes 2–3 hours round trip. There are no fees or facilities, so wear shoes with good grip and carry plenty of water. From Loreto it is about 30 minutes by car. The trailhead is at the end of a dirt road beside the highway.
