Mexico is undoubtedly one of those magical places that just by knowing them once, we realize that we will never forget them and in this article we will talk about two of my favorite destinations, which although I have loved them very much, I would like to share with you, how fascinating Mexico is.
San Jose and Cabo San Lucas: a trip to Los Cabos, Baja California
The nature of the narrow peninsula of Baja California (Mexico), between the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez, gives us beautiful landscapes, mixing the desert sand with the beach, turquoise water and high mountains. And to enjoy the sea, there is no better destination than Los Cabos, at the southern tip of the peninsula.
Approaching to Los Cabos
San Jose is a perfect place to visit the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Los Cabos International Airport offers multiple connections to major Mexican cities and direct flights to the United States and Canada at very affordable prices, which thousands of tourists take advantage of every year to take a few days off from their cold winter months. By the way, in San José the hottest months are from June to October, while the rest of the year, from November to May, the temperatures are more pleasant. Especially in the months of February and March, which are preferred by foreign tourists and therefore the busiest months.
Public transportation in San Jose is acceptable, with frequent buses to Cabo San Lucas along the Corredor Turistico, the coastal road that runs through the area of Los Cabos and its beautiful beaches. There are also tourists who stay more days and prefer to rent their own car. The easiest way is use Car Rental Cabo San Lucas with City Car Rental to explore each of the beaches more calmly.
And what is this about the San Jose estuary or estuary?
In a region so dry, where the desert dunes end up in beaches, there is a contrast to the existence of this true oasis. It’s surprising that so close to the urban center of San José there is a protected natural area of these characteristics, which before the arrival of the Spanish gave sustenance to groups of indigenous Pericúes. The fresh water of the San José River descends from the mountains of Baja California and here it mixes with the salt water of the Sea of Cortez. The result is fertile land and a rich ecosystem that is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.
The city of San Jose del Cabo extends inland from its central plaza, about two kilometers from the coast. From there, to the north, there are more popular neighborhoods and areas and to the south, the Hotel Zone, with golf courses and hotel complexes that reach.
