Stage 1: Open Water Swim
Around Coronado Island

Overview

Your journey rises riding the mountains.

Stage 2: Cycling to the Historic
San Javier Mission

Pick up speed across flowing dirt tracks, sharp climbs, and strategic descents. This is the shortest day, but don’t let that fool you — smart pacing and technical skills will make the difference.

Overview

Stage 2 – Climb deeper, ride further.

Starting from the marina in Puerto Escondido, Stage 2 takes you on a demanding 90 km ride through an ever-changing landscape of desert valleys and rugged mountains. The route gradually climbs inland, offering panoramic views of the coastline before immersing you in the remote, raw beauty of Baja California Sur’s heartland. Expect dry heat, shifting winds, and a terrain that demands both physical strength and mental focus. Every pedal stroke takes you deeper into a wild, unspoiled region where nature dominates and silence reigns. The experience is as rewarding as it is tough — a true test of endurance and spirit.
