Cabo San Lucas, located on the peninsula of Baja California, has warm waters, white beaches, great fishing, and adventurous activities such as parasailing, wave runners, zip lining and snorkeling/diving. The nightlife is fun and plentiful. The shopping is typical Mexican souvenir trinkets.
Tourists are often bombarded by sales people to attend time-share pitches. But, if you’re not interested, a stern “no” quickly dispatches them. If you tire of the touristy ambiance of Cabo, escape to the quaint artist community of Todas Santos. Located about 1-1/2 hours from Cabo, Todas Santos has an abundance of art galleries, bars, shopping and a peaceful mission all for your enjoyment and entertainment. You can choose to totally relax and enjoy the sun and sand or pick your adventure of choice. Our guide includes fun places to visit in Cabo, walking guides and Cabo landmarks.
The Cabo community is eager to make all your vacation dreams come true. Frequent flights are available from major cities in the US. Click here to begin your Weekend Escape…
