HISTORIC SAN JOSE DEL CABO
For an unforgettable cultural experience, it is only a 20-minute drive into San Jose del Cabo's Historic Art District, where you can wander for hours along colorful cobblestone streets.

CAMINO CABO ESTE (EAST CAPE HIGHWAY)
Take a scenic drive up the East Cape. The paved highway ends about 5 miles north. From there on, the road is dirt, the terrain is rugged, and the scenery is unreal. You can go for hours or take a short drive. There are some important things to consider if you add the East Cape Highway to your itinerary, as you will be heading into a very remote area. Plan ahead.
There are no gas stations or markets along this stretch of road between San Jose del Cabo and Los Barilles, so ensure you have plenty of gas and drinking water before heading out.
You will need pesos for many of the businesses.
Cell service is almost non-existent, so make any important calls, texts or emails before leaving the house.
The “highway” is an ungraded, bumpy dirt road. Consider renting a higher clearance vehicle.
CABO SAN LUCAS
This rapidly growing city is the tourism epicenter of Los Cabos. The streets are packed with restaurants, shopping, bars, and nightclubs.
