For visitors looking for lower-priced accommodations, there are several priced around $100 to $150 per night that caters to visitors wanting to visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cabo Pulmo.

Cabo Pulmo

Cabo Pulmo is not exactly a secret destination. It receives a number of tourist visitors each and every day. But it is definitely a slice of peaceful relaxation off the beaten path in Baja California Sur.

Cabo Pulmo is a Mexican national marine park considered “the aquarium of the world” by many of its visitors. It is estimated to be more than 20,000 years old and hosts more than 800 different varieties of aquatic life.

For snorkelers and divers, there is simply no other place in the world as unique as Cabo Pulmo off the east cape of Baja California Sur. It’s also a great place for hiking.

It’s definitely an off-the-beaten-path location where sustainability is the mission of life. Most of the hotels and homes in the area are off the grid and run on solar power. While this may be limiting for some, it makes for some star-filled evenings on the beach.

The area is also a focus for low-impact kayaking among the reef and many animals to observe. Some of the varieties of animals include sea turtles and many different species of sharks, including the tourist favorite hammerhead shark.

So, if you are looking for a different type of peak spring travel season than the traditional Los Cabos party scene, now you know where to go. La Ribera is the secret destination of the locals, and now it’s your special vacation getaway place to enjoy as well.
