Los Cabos is famous for its massive, all-inclusive luxury resorts and high-energy nightlife. But what happens when you need a vacation from your vacation?

You have decided to rent a car and escape the “Cabo Bubble” for a day. Excellent choice. But now you face the classic Baja dilemma: West or North?
