Los Frailes

This is the view of the anchorage from the top of the mountain to the North.  The white expanse of beach stretches to the mountain range to the south where the R.V.s speckle the water front.
This is our orange dinghy landed on the beach and a car in the distance.  A handful of tourists visited most days to snorkel in the clear waters and enjoy the clean white sand beach.
The reef was teeming with interesting fish, including parrot fish, although we couldn't stay in much longer than 15mins without wetsuits.  This was the view from the mountain, but the view from our boat wasn't that different!
We followed the dusty road into the wilderness and really enjoyed clambering amongst the giant cactus.  I commented that the rock formations were so clean and bright that they looked like a desert theme park made of styrofoam!
Yes, this is a real cactus!!
You can see the dusty road cutting through the wilderness.  Our original intention was to walk to Cabo Pulmo to the North, but we found the cactus so interesting we lost track of time and grew hot and tired pretty quickly.
