Dos Mares 500 off road desert race

The off road race runs across the desert from La Paz to San Jose Del Cabo, a 305 km rush over sand dunes and cactuses, mostly in the dark!

The show started with a parade over the Malecon whoch attracted a large crowdy including us.

After the show-start the timed start happened early afternoon, about 30 kms North of La Paz. The participants races all night to the 300 kms finish line. We have picked a nearby spot in the desert to watch as they raced away.
