I have put together this short list of tips and tricks to help you with planning your trip to Los Cabos, but don’t forget that I’m always available if you want your trip professionally planned.

1. Plan your trip during the dry season from November to April to avoid rainy days. Temperatures may be a bit cooler during this time, so that’s perfect if you want to avoid the heat of summer.

2. Bring sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun, which can be quite strong. Los Cabos gets on average about 350 days of sunshine a year. Protect yourself and avoid ruining your vacation with sunburn or worse.

3. Learn some basic Spanish phrases to communicate with the locals. While English is widely spoken in the touristy areas, it’s never a bad idea to know few words or phrases in the local language.

4. Try the local cuisine, including fresh seafood and Mexican street food. Authentic Mexican cuisine is a must in Cabo!

5. Take a snorkeling or scuba diving tour to explore the marine life in the Sea of Cortez. There are lots of possibilities in Cabo. You can explore some tours and activities here:
