Altar Desert 2008
USA-Mexico

The Gran Desierto de Altar is one of the major portions of the Sonoran Desert of Mexico, including the only active erg dune region in North America. It extends across much of the northern border of the Gulf of California, reaching more than 100 kilometers east to west, and over 50 km north to south, and constitutes the largest continuous wilderness area within the Sonoran Desert.
In this expedition the team will travel to this region to test our 4x4 desert driving skills and explore this biosphere reserve which includes the most strikingly volcanic landscape system of the Pinacate Sierra.
Our Journey will also include the Sea of Cortez and the beaches of Puerto Peñasco.
