Cabo San Lucas
After Thanksgiving, we spent a week in Cabo San Lucas, commonly called Cabo. It is a Mexican city at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Unlike mainland Mexico with its tropical climate, Cabo is where the desert meets the sea. It was our first time here, we didn’t quite know what to expect. What we’d seen and experienced made us not want to leave. The weather was perfect. It was warm (low 80’s) and sunny every day, with no humidity. The nights were cool enough to sleep without turning the AC on. And the water was warm enough to swim in (around 79 degree). Though our first and last night there, it got a bit chilly (in the 50’s, which was the coldest it would get). It was 30 degree on the East Coast when we left, so we had no complaints!
With less than 8 raining days a year, sunshine year round, comfortable temperature more than 9 months out of a year, beautiful sandy beaches, the warmth of the waters, the abundance of sport fish, and close proximity to the U.S. (Los Angeles, Denver, Texas – all are within 3-hr direct flight to Cabo San Lucas), Cabo is a very popular vacationing destination. We’ve met quite a few people on this trip that have timeshares or own homes here. Some of them live in Cabo San Lucas 3-6 months a year. Even more people keep on coming back here year after year. And these are people who had travelled around the world. We asked them why, their replies, “Because there is no place as nice as this”, or “Where else do you go that you can have almost guaranteed beautiful weather year round?”
On this trip, we stayed at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Resort & Spa. My review of the resort and its sisters can be found here. Also, click on the following links for our recommendations on food and activities if interested.
