Approximate road distances. Check flights and bus schedules before you travel.
Check before you buy. Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is about 13 km from the city center, with taxi, shared transport and rental cars. From Cabo San Lucas it is about 30 km via the Tourist Corridor, with bus and taxi.
How many days
Two days: one for the historic center and the estuary, another for Cabo Pulmo. The town is often the base for those seeking the quieter side of Los Cabos.
When to go
November to May, the dry season with calmer seas. Whales usually pass from December to April. From July to September the heat is intense.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
For the town center, no. For Cabo Pulmo and the Corridor beaches, a car gives freedom; there are also organized tours and taxis.
