A vacation can easily go wrong when visiting a place for the first time. If you are planning your first trip to Los Cabos, there are some basic things you need to know. In the following article, we enlisted the most common vacation mistakes you need to avoid in your upcoming vacation:
Los Cabos Vacation Mistakes
1. Not choosing the right town for you: Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo?
When visiting Los Cabos for the first time, most people are not aware that it consists of two towns: Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo connected by the Tourist Corridor, a 20 mile highway, with beautiful ocean views, where many hotels can be found as well.
Each town has a unique personality, Cabo San Lucas, also known as ‘Cabo’ by tourists, is known for its nightlife, luxury marina, and the famous Arch located in the Land’s End, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, while San José del Cabo is a more cultural and traditional Mexican town. Therefore, for a more relaxed, all-inclusive getaway we recommend San José del Cabo. For a more active adventure we recommend Cabo San Lucas.
2. Not booking ahead your airport transportation
The Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is located in San José del Cabo, a 20 min drive for the hotel zone in San José del Cabo and about a 45 min drive to Cabo San Lucas. Considering the cost of a regular taxi or shuttle, when traveling as a family or in a group, private airport transportation is a smart choice to book before your trip.
