The Alaska Airlines flight from Orange County to Cabo San Lucas was excellent. Recent survey rated them in top 5 airlines. Los Cabos airport was jammed with tons of people. When we got to the immigration area and saw hundreds and hundreds of people snaking in a line that went forever, we thought it’d be a couple of hours before we get out of there. But they were extremely efficient in processing people. All it took was maybe 20 minutes. The car rental company warned us we had to get through two halls full of people trying to sell time shares, rides, etc so we walked quickly and got out into a drinking crowd outside the terminal where Cactus (car rental) people met us. They were also good and very efficient. The drive to Todos Santos was easy on good roads (first part on a new toll road), about an hour. The town is small and only the center has paved roads, other roads are dirt rods. We followed directions from our hotel and drove into the hills on a narrow dirt road. Our hotel (Los Colibres) is a group of casitas. Our casita is called La Chucha. It’s like a studio apartment with two terraces – one on the room level and the other is a rooftop terrace, both overlooking the ocean. Because the dirt roads are unlit, it’s better not to arrive after dark. We went and explored the historical center of town. It is lovely. After walking for 2 hours we decided to have an early dinner because we had no lunch and also we were afraid that if we stay till dark, we’ll never find our way back to Los Colibris. We ate at Café Santa Fe, which was highly recommended by our hotel and had very good reviews on line. Best meal we have had in a long time. We both had fish – yellowtail and a fish called snook, which we’d never had before. Both were outstanding. Then back to the hotel to enjoy the sunset from the rooftop until mosquitoes forced us to go inside.
Pictures are our casita.
