3 tips when visiting Cabo
3 Tips when visiting Cabo
1. Book Your Transportation from the Airport in Advance
The airport in Cabo is actually in San Jose del Cabo which is about a 30-minute drive from Cabo San Lucas and my suggestion is that you go ahead and you book your transportation in advance of getting here.
It’s not very expensive, maybe 22 to 30 bucks each way per person.
2. Bring Plenty of US Cash to Use
Another tip that I have for you is to bring lots of cash from the US, if you’re coming from the US. Everybody is using American dollars so if you’re coming from Canada or another country then definitely exchange them to US dollars before you arrive.
Even though credit cards are widely accepted, it is best to have cash with you and in small bills. It’s also convenient to have US dollars because then when you go home you don’t have to exchange it back!
3. Don’t Do All Inclusive
That’s right: DON’T do an all inclusive. You’ll miss out on some truly amazing experiences. It’s quite common in Mexico to do all-inclusive hotels.
The food is so incredible in Mexico – the sauces and the spices and the meats and the sea food and the tortillas – it’s just so yummy why would you waste your time doing all inclusive?
You can get tamales on the beach. You can stop and get a taco almost anywhere for two or three dollars. So it’s not worth doing an all-inclusive. You’ll have a better time experiencing Cabo on your own.
Have you been to Cabo?
When planning your trip to Cabo, it’s crucial to prepare adequately to ensure a memorable experience. First, understanding the local culture can greatly enrich your visit. Many travelers recommend exploring local markets and dining at street vendors to savor authentic Mexican cuisine. The vibrant food scene is known for its delicious tacos, tamales, and fresh seafood, which offer a taste of traditional flavors. Moreover, you should consider using apps for navigation and restaurant recommendations, making it easier to find hidden gems. Local cuisine often highlights fresh ingredients and unique recipes that tourists may overlook. Embracing the local atmosphere will enhance your journey and may even lead to exciting discoveries. Additionally, learn a few basic Spanish phrases to interact with locals. This not only shows respect but can also lead to friendly recommendations and assistance. Emphasizing cultural exchange can elevate your travel experience, as travel is as much about the people you meet as the places you visit. Remember to check local events or festivals during your stay, as these can provide insight into the region's traditions and community life, adding unforgettable moments to your Cabo adventure. Above all, stay safe, respect local customs, and enjoy your travels!
