Hello beautiful people!
Wife and I booked our flights to and from SJD with 12 nights in between to experience a slice of the life in the peninsula in the second half of November! Below is our tentative plan and am looking for any recommendations or gotchas before I book the hotels. We are in our late 30s, so, we are less of the party all night, more of one or two activities in the day and relaxing dinner at night people. We never learned to swim, but did guided scuba diving in Bali and loved it.
Day 1 (Tuesday): Land in SJD and drive to San Cabo Lucas, spend 2 nights there. We land on Tuesday, so, skipping San Jose del Cabo to come to it at the end on Thursday for the art walk.
Day 3 (Thursday) : Drive from San Cabo Lucas to Todos Santos, spend 3 nights at Todos Santos.
Day 6 (Sunday): Drive from Todos Santos to La Paz and spend 4 nights at La Paz.
Day 10 (Thursday): Drive from La Paz to San Jose del Cabo and spend 2 nights here to catch the art walk and our flight from SJD on day 12.
After reading some of the other posts in the sub, I considered adding Cabo Pulmo to the itinerary, but decided not to do it as it just makes the trip more packed and less relaxing than I would like. This is our first trip south of Canada and would like to spend quality time soaking in the culture and treating our taste buds. However, I am open to changing the plan if you think changing the plan is worth it. We love nature and great views, so, drop any recommendations for stays with great views if you have one at any of these locations.
I also love watching movies shot in the location or closer to the locals hearts, so, please recommend any such movies - the older, the better! Looking forward to reading your take!
