  1. I love you included some points like eating street tacos or visiting the flea market! I’m from Mexico and foreign people usually stick to the touristy Cancun and they never leave the resort. Cool list!

  3. Wow! There is so much to do in Cabo! I didn’t know they had whale sharks but swimming with them would definitely be one of my must-do things!

    Happy continued travels!

  4. Practically an all year destination. Not only that from the list of things to do it covers almost everything that one expects from a holiday. It looks like a combination of so many other destinations I have been to. Being in Mexico I am sure it will not be expensive. Cabo San Lucas is worth several months of time. Only thing I need to do is learn Spanish.:)

    1. Super inexpensive, especially if you stay in an all inclusive resort. I had no issues speaking English 🙂

  5. I had to pin this too. I have been wanting to go to Cabo for sometime now. Pina colada out of a pineapple, glass bottom boat ride, and massages on the beach sound great.

  6. 350 days of sunshine! Woo! I never knew there is a place like that. The cabo San Lucas is so bright and beautiful. Moreover the place has plenty to offer and it will be an instagrammers delight. Loved your pictures.

  7. Sounds like the perfect place to disconnect and have a lovely vacation. I’ve heard about Cabo and it will definitely be in my places to visit when I plan my trip to Mexico in 2018. Maybe 3-4 days in Cabo will be enough?

  8. Sounds like there’s so much cool stuff to do in Cabo! Would love to take a sunset cruise around Land’s End, and a glass bottom boat. I would never say no to a massage on a beach, and OMG drinking a Pina Colada from a pineapple is a dream fantasy! Thanks for these cool ideas!

  9. I didn’t know they didn’t have a lot of rainy season! And that temperature is so like my Philippines I know I would feel at home there. From your list of things to do, I would love to do the kayaking, boating, yoga, parasailing, swimming with the dolphins, ATV ride. Not so much into cliff jumping and blowing glass LOL

  10. 350 days!!!!! I… where’s Google Flights? Seriously though, this list and that stat are both serious travel inspo. And your photos are stunning! Horseback riding on the beach is something I’ve always wanted to do… sprinkle that with some tequila tastings and tacos, and it sounds like a perfect vacation 🙂

    1. I thought I would want to do the horseback ride too but didn’t go through with it. The thought of trying to get on the horse from the sand was, well, intimidating. A friend offered to push my butt to help me up. Should have done it and you tubed it, that would have gone viral I’m sure!

  11. Very handy guide! 350 days of sunshine–sounds like my kind of place! Love that you did this in list form, for easy reading and bookmarking! I’m particularly intrigued by the Cliff jump off Pelican Rock and the glass bottom boat ride 🙂

  12. I agree with Sidd on this one; 350 days of sunshine is just beyond bananas. Especially for such a beautiful region. Some areas have sunny days for much of the year but a stunning area like this, by the water, with so much to do, usually has a greater marine influence which means a sizable monsoon season, all the moisture in the ocean influencing weather patterns. Totally floored that Cabo has that much sun. Great to know!

  13. 350 days of sunshine! Damn…I didn’t even know places like that existed in the world 🙂 With so much sunshine, one can do so much…your posts covers them all so concisely! All sound good, but I am most intrigued by the visit to the witchcraft town of Candelaria.
