Baja California - Cabo for Short

To my arriving group - stay cool and get plenty of liquids!  Cabo in August is not for the faint of heart...a bit warm, to say the least!  This unique area of Mexico is a vacation paradise and playground for fun in the sun. In the few times I have visited Cabo, I have discovered fabulous architecture, stunning scenery, amazing activities and the best guacamole in the world! There's few Mexican culinary experiences that rival a sunset catamaran cruise around the Arch of Cabo while enjoying the best Margaritas with freshly made guacamole, salsa and chips. It must be the smell of the salt air that makes it magical, and virtually unrepeatable in Minnesota!


Cabo has a great mix of hotels, from all-inclusive to ultra-exclusive. Activities also fill the spectrum from imitating a beached whale to Ziplines, ATVs and Dune Buggies.  For golfers and fishermen, who often come in the same package, it's a destination to die for. During my most recent visit, a jeep safari through the desert bushland revealed some pretty cool sites...from the blooming cacti to this inviting swimming oasis. Who would have thought this place would exist in such a dusty environment.


 

The "action" in Cabo gravitates to either Cabo San Lucas, or San Jose de Cabo. Both are worth a visit, but draw a completely different crowd. The busy marina, tourist shopping and wild nightclubs are primarily in Cabo San Lucas. For a little more cultural and cultural experience, San Jose de Cabo is the place to go. The number of art galleries and fine restaurants has grown immensely over the years and are all within walking distance from the historic city square.
