Cabo San Lucas is the largest tourist destination in Los Cabos, in southern Baja California Sur. It’s a place where you’re likely to hear more US accents than Mexican ones, where you’ll see a lot of prices in dollars instead of pesos, and a lot of luxury hotels and resorts. But Cabo San Lucas is also where you can see humpback whales jumping close, snorkel with sea lions or climb to get the best panoramic view in the company of more than twenty dogs. In this guide we try to show you all the things to see and do in Cabo San Lucas with specific itineraries in 1, 2 or 3 days with practical suggestions, where to stay and even where to eat so you can make the most of your trip.
It was one of the main motivations for visiting to this part of Mexico and it did not disappoint: in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur it is possible to see 3 types of whales: gray whales, humpback whales and blue whales. In addition, although it is not a whale, it is also possible to see and swim with the whale shark. If you also want to live this experience, in this guide you will find everything you need to know to whale watch responsibly in the wild on your trip to Baja California Sur.
We traveled for a month in the state of Baja California Sur and it became one of our favorites of the six months we spent in Mexico. The whales were the main reason for making a trip there, because in this state, at a certain time of the year, you can see humpback whales, gray whales and the largest animal on the planet, the blue whale, up close. If you have a good time, as a bonus, you can even swim with the majestic whale shark, frolic among sea lions, watch gentle turtles and an impressive coral reef. In addition to the adventures among its marine wildlife that became among the most special of our lives, the scenery, the slow pace and the beaches of Baja California Sur (in our opinion, some of the best we’ve seen in Mexico) made this state one of our favorites in Mexico. In this guide we try to show you all the things to see and do in Baja California Sur with specific itineraries (from a weekend, 5 days, one, two, three weeks or a month) with practical suggestions, where to stay and even where to eat to make your trip as special as ours has been.
