Our organization
Renato Calò
is without
any doubt
the soul of
our
organization. He is Italian and he has been a fashion photographer in
Milan until 1975, when he decided to leave everything behind and find his own desert island where to retire. Since then, he lives in
Baja California and nobody certainly knows that land better than him.
He traveled
it far and wide as an explorer for the Anthropology Museum of La Paz, as a photographer investigator for the Biological Research Center, as a racing driver in nine editions of the famous Baja 1000, the grueling Paris to Dakar of America. Very often he leads our groups, behind the steering wheel of a powerful off-road vehicle, with the passion and enthusiasm of the first time.
Our guides and all our collaborators are experienced and specialized professionals, locals who take pride of their heritage and who seek to preserve this unique ecology.
For our
escorted
tours we
utilize
specially
prepared off
road
vehicles,
engineered
to withstand
the rigors
of the
desert, as
the
Chevrolet
Suburban
4x4, capable
of eight
passengers
beside the
driver. On
the roof
there is a
large rack
for the
luggage,
while inside
a big ice
box will
keep the
drinks cool.
For the "Drive Yourself" tours, we use the Jeep Wrangler 4x4, suggested for two people with luggage and Jeep
Liberty, for up to four passengers.
Off Road
lovers will
love our
ultimate toy:
the powerful
Hummer!
All accommodations, in tents or hotels, are planned with the highest available standards and are the result of our experience accumulated in so many years of voyages. You can easily consult all the specifications in Hotel section of this site.
Our clients are multi-national, well-travelled fun-seekers. They are interested in nature and are willing to get a little dusty from time to time in order to reach remote beauty. Physical fitness is not an absolute requirement, but to enjoy all what we offer (swimming, hiking, snorkeling, off-roading) we recommend being in good shape.
We sponsor an all year round program directed to students, workers, tourism employees, executives and politicians which, through lectures, exhibitions and slide presentations, is designed to sensitize them on the importance and necessity of the nature conservation and on the direct and indirect benefits derivated from the protected areas.
During our journeys, our clients spend their time exploring, using and learning about the ecosystem they are in; their number is small and restricted, so as not to exceed the carrying capacity of the area and damage the ecosystem and our guides survey that all the rules of camping, hiking and generally behaving with minimum impact are strictly observed.
We are in constant contact with fishermen, farmers and inhabitants of the sierra range, who are employed by us during our expeditions and who, with the continuous relationship with our staff and clients, are developing a different vision of the environment in which they live. This new view is then transmitted to their friends, children, parents, neighbors, continuing the chain for the protection of the ecosystem.
