🌿 Farm-to-Table Sanctuaries
Where: Foothills near San José del Cabo
Who It’s For: Foodies, romantics, nature lovers
When: Year-round (dinner reservations essential)
Duration: 3–5 hours
Trade neon lights for candlelit patios at one of Los Cabos’s farm-to-table gems. At Acre Baja, you’ll dine on hyper-local dishes—think cactus-hued risotto and grilled octopus—harvested just steps from your table.
Wander through fruit orchards, spot resident peacocks, and finish with a mezcal flight by the fire pits.
🎨 The Todos Santos Day Trip
Where: Todos Santos (about 1 hour north of Cabo San Lucas)
Who It’s For: History buffs, art lovers, independent travelers
When: Year-round (daytime travel recommended)
Duration: 6–8 hours (full day)
Bright, bohemian, and brimming with stories, Todos Santos is Baja’s artistic hideaway. Start your morning with a photo op at the iconic Hotel California, then wander into Galería de Todos Santos to meet local painters.
For lunch, hit up Tacos Y Mariscos El Sinaloense for legendary shrimp tacos.
🔥 Temazcal Ceremony
Where: Various wellness centers around Los Cabos (e.g., Vista Encantada)
Who It’s For: Wellness seekers, culture enthusiasts, spiritual explorers
When: Year-round (book in advance; morning or sunset sessions)
Duration: 3–5 hours
Step into an ancient sweat lodge (temazcal) for a purifying ritual guided by a trained shaman. Inside the domed stone structure, herbal infusions and chanting help you sweat out toxins, followed by a cooling plunge or ocean dip.
Afterward, feel free to lounge at on-site pools or enjoy a herbal tea ceremony. Wear your swimsuit, bring a towel, and prepare for a reset of body and mind.
🥃 The Agave Sacrament
Where: Tasting rooms, resorts, private villas (e.g., Agave Study at Peacock Valley)
Who It’s For: Spirit connoisseurs, history enthusiasts
When: Year-round (advance booking recommended)
Duration: 1.5–2 hours
Dive deep into Mexico’s most iconic plant with a guided agave tasting. Compare the subtle smoke of mezcal to the clean crispness of tequila, learn about centuries-old clay pot distillation methods, and savor rare small-batch expressions like raicilla and stool.
Many venues pair sips with mini-taco bites or chocolate squares to highlight flavor profiles—trust us, it’s a delicious history lesson.
😀 The San José del Cabo Art Walk
Where: San José del Cabo Gallery District
Who It’s For: Art & culture lovers, social butterflies
When: Thursdays, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM (November through June)
Duration: 2–4 hours
Every Thursday evening from November through June, the historic gallery district transforms into an open-air celebration of creativity. Stroll down cobblestone streets lined with contemporary Mexican art, pop into air-conditioned galleries for guided talks, and mingle with both local and international artists.
Many galleries also host live music and offer small bites—perfect for grazing your way through the walk. Pro tip: swing by Galería Corsica for cutting-edge installations, and don’t miss the pop-up vino and taco stands near the plaza.
Pro Tip: No matter which adventure you choose, book early (especially November–April), confirm pickup times, and allow extra travel time for Los Cabos traffic. Ready to step off the beaten path?
