Travel Blog

We were told that Cabo San Lucas, Baha California Sur, was about 2 ½ hours away.  We were getting really excited because the drive would be a piece of cake in comparison to the drive we had driven the past 2 days.  We were almost at our 1st adventure spot we planned to feature on the website  www.adventurestodo.com
and we were happy that we made it.

On Sunday, January 13th we reached Cabo San Lucas at about 2:30pm and started looking for a hotel.  We found Hotel Santa Fe http://www.hotelsantafeloscabos.com/cms/ and we are still there today.  Upon arriving in Cabo the speedometer read 179725.

We drove around a bit that day and familiarized ourselves with the main strip in Cabo San Lucas and found it to be quite welcoming.  We can see why Cabo is one of Mexico’s top destinations because it is so beautiful here!  Cabo offers an endless list of activities, dining and entertainment for all tastes.  The adventure activities and/or sports are discribed in detail in the next few days of the Blog.
