Day trip from Baja California Sur, Baja California Sur
Todos Santos Day Trip from Los Cabos
The bohemian Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) of Todos Santos makes an ideal day trip from Los Cabos, offering a completely different Baja experience. The 80km drive up Highway 19 (about 1 hour) through desert and agricultural valleys leads to a charming colonial town with excellent galleries, restaurants, surf beaches, and history. Visit the historic center, gallery-hop along Centenario and Topete streets, have lunch at Café Santa Fe or Jazamango, browse the artisan shops, and drive down to Playa Cerritos for an afternoon swim or surf watch. Return to Cabo by sunset.
