The popularity of Los Cabos is undeniable because all the numbers prove just how popular the destination is.
More than 4 million tourists visited Los Cabos, which is made up of the cities of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, last year.
Now, as the new year gets underway, the number of visitors arriving in Los Cabos is about 3 percent more than what tourism officials expected, and the busy spring break months are yet to come.
This is why now is the time to book your 2024 Los Cabos vacation. Let’s take a look at some other reasons to book early and some tips for doing so.
Spring Break And Easter Just Around The Corner
The winter months are undoubtedly one of the busiest seasons in Los Cabos, particularly around Christmas and New Year, but spring brings some crowds too.
This year, both spring break and Easter coincide with each other, so the season will be extra busy.
Spring break starts around the last week of February and lasts until the first week of April.
Easter falls at the tail end of spring break, on March 31st. These weeks will be extremely busy in Los Cabos.

Getting Your Preferred Hotel
If you have a specific hotel in mind, one that you can’t live without, then booking early is essential.
This is particularly the case if you want to be in one of the main tourist hotspots, like the Medano Beach area of Cabo San Lucas.
If you’re still up in the air about your exact plans, you can always book at a refundable rate to ensure that you’ll be able to cancel if your plans change.

A Chance At Better Rates
While rates during busy seasons are typically high, there is a chance you could get a better rate by booking early.
As we all know, when demand goes up, so do the prices.
Demand will be at its highest when availability starts to go down because the majority of travelers have already booked their Los Cabos vacation, so if you want even a chance of getting a better rate, the earlier you book the better.

Not Missing Out On Attractions And Activities
Once you book your Los Cabos vacation, you can start planning your trip.
There are several attractions and activities that are super popular among tourists.
Many water activities, hikes, and boat tours sell out quickly, so you want to book these as soon as possible too.

The Benefit Of Booking Transportation In Advance
Transportation is not something you want to wait to book either, especially if you’ll be visiting during a time like spring break.
Booking in advance means you don’t have to pile out of the airport with everyone else and try to hail a taxi or wait in line to book private transportation.
Not only will your driver be waiting for you upon arrival, but transportation is typically significantly cheaper when booked in advance as well.

When To Book Flights
We all know that flight costs vary considerably from day to day and even hour to hour.
Because of this many of us watch flights for days, weeks, or even months before booking a flight.
In the case of a destination like Los Cabos, though, that is so quickly growing in popularity, you’re probably better off booking early, at least 45 days in advance.
Setting up a Google price tracker can help you find the best rate.

Best Time To Visit To Avoid Crowds
As mentioned earlier, spring and winter are the busiest seasons in Los Cabos.
Summers are pretty busy too, but not quite as busy as spring and winter.
The best time to avoid the crowds in Los Cabos is September through November, and the weather is still amazing.
