Los Cabos is becoming a popular beach resort destination for a quick three-day holiday weekend. Despite only having three days, it is close enough to home for a quick trip.

From many destinations in the United States, Los Cabos is a quick flight from an international standpoint.

While it may take ten hours or more to touch down in Europe and Asia, Los Cabos is a quick flight under two and a half hours from Los Angeles and barely over two hours nonstop from Phoenix.

Meanwhile from Denver, it’s a hair over three hours and even from Chicago, it’s a four-and-a-half hour three-day-weekend hop.

On the other hand, travelers can affordably fly to Los Cabos for just a couple hundred dollars, nonstop.

In fact, the nonstop flight from Chicago mentioned above, leaving in a short two weeks from now, is priced under $700 dollars on American Airlines. It would be even cheaper with more advanced planning.

That’s a trip that many travelers can take more often than just one every couple of years without breaking the bank. It’s also cost-effective enough to fit in for a quick three-day weekend getaway.

If that doesn’t interest a traveler, there are many more things to do in Los Cabos, such as snorkel with tropical fish, take a boat ride out to Lands End or even venture out to a UNESCO heritage site that’s been called the aquarium of the world.

Los Cabos is just that place for a get away . Please don't let it get Trashed by Our Gringo friends. Los Cabos has the Best Natural scenery, and the Sea of Cortez is Stunning in its Beauty and the Abundance of Wildlife . I Love Los Cabos . Been to Europe , nothing but rocks on rocks and the Mediterranean Sea sadly is almost devoid of Wildlife . Viva Mexico .... !
