ROOTED IN Authentic Baja Sur HISTORY
Los Pisos, which means the floors in English, owes its name to the many floors and foundations that were previously found in this location, dating back to the 1800s. This is the site of the old mining town of Cacachilas, which was once inhabited by approximately 200 people from various countries and walks of life. Here we continue to catch glimpses of the past in the form of glass bottles, ceramic pieces and slag from the inefficient processing that took place.
Additionally, Los Pisos was a favorite resting and camping site of a locally famous cowboy named Don Victor, also known as Don Diablo. Here he kept supplies such as pots, pans, water, a jacket and even coffee. Spending the majority of his life in these mountains, he was an invaluable resource to us. Don Victor knew our lands very well and his deerskin coat hung on a tree here many years after he was gone. Learn more about his story on our Don Diablo Trail Run website. This annual running race starts in the outskirts of La Paz, crosses the Cacachilas mountain range, passes Los Pisos, and ends on a beach in El Sargento.
Los Pisos Remote Wilderness Safari Tent Camp
This is a remote group camp with wall-cabin tents spread out along the mountain ridge lines, with 2 centralized camp kitchens. Solar powered, off the grid and no wifi—you’ll love this! 360 degree views of Baja California Sur’s mountains and the Sea of Cortez.
The dark night star-filled skies alone make this camp a favorite with guests. Direct access to the trail system at Los Pisos. Remote glamping at its finest! One of the nearby trails — the Mandala — leads guests on an easy loop by three springs, including the Pisos Spring that supplies us with water in even the driest months.
Graced with a sculpture of a reclining buddha, the source makes for a relaxing spot to sit and gather one's thoughts or simply appreciate the surrounding silence broken only by bird song, cowbells and the wind.
NO CAMPING OR TOUR OPTIONS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW IN LOS PISOS. WE ARE WORKING ON UPGRADES AND WILL SHARE AVAILABILITY NEWS SOON.
