For the last decade, Todos Santos has held a mythical status in Baja California Sur. It was the “anti-Cabo”—a designated Pueblo Mágico where the roads were dusty, the art was local, and the pace was dictated by the surf, not the cruise ship schedule. But if you are planning to visit and want to experience …

I see them every time I fly back into SJD. Travelers sprinting out of the terminal, desperate to start their vacation. They grab a $20 margarita at the airport bar, they stop to talk to the “friendly guy” in the hallway who promises a free taxi, and they hit the pool at 2:00 PM in …
If you read enough travel forums, you will inevitably see the warnings: “Don’t go there, it’s just for gringos.” “It’s a total tourist trap.” “You’re paying for the view.” In many destinations, this cynicism saves you money. But in Los Cabos, it often causes you to miss out on the best experiences the region has …
Your bags are packed, you have your airport outfit picked out, and you’re ready for a margarita. But every time you open a Facebook group or check a travel forum, you see a new panic post about a “hidden fee” in Cabo. One person says they paid $50 at a kiosk. Another says they “never …
There is a trend emerging in Los Cabos this winter. If you walk through the lobby of a major resort, it is bustling. The swim-up bars are three rows deep, and the poolside loungers are claimed by 8:00 AM. But if you take a taxi into downtown Cabo San Lucas or the Art District of …
If you looked out at the bay this morning and thought, “That boat looks bigger than my apartment building,” you weren’t hallucinating.

The 387-foot vessel isn’t just a boat; it’s a floating city that reportedly cost the Meta founder …
If you are heading to Los Cabos for Spring Break this year, you probably already know that your hotel wasn’t cheap. But according to new data released by the Mayor of Los Cabos, Christian Agúndez Gómez, the “daily burn” for tourists is climbing just as fast as the room rates. In a press conference this …
If you are booking a trip to Los Cabos in 2026, you need to adjust your budget baseline. The days of the “cheap Baja getaway” are officially behind us. While the destination has always commanded a premium over Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, 2026 has introduced a new layer of “entry friction” that applies before you …
You arrive at the beach, drop your towel, and look at the ocean. It looks calm enough. Maybe a little choppy, but fine, right? Wrong. In Cabo, the ocean is deceptive. A beach can look serene on the surface but hide a riptide strong enough to drag an Olympic swimmer out to sea. This is …
If you take a water taxi from the Cabo San Lucas marina, the itinerary is almost always the same. You cruise out to Land’s End, you fight for position with 20 other boats to get the photo of The Arch, and then maybe you get dropped off at Lover’s Beach (Playa del Amor) for a …
