Day 3 in Cabo San Lucas - Enjoying Cabo

Once again on Tuesday, January 15th we walked around the town and learned as much as we could about the Tour companies and what they had to offer. We met with a few owners and booked a couple of meetings for the days following. We ate our first dinner in Cabo at what seemed to be a fairly inexpensive restaurant (La Langosta Desvelada) but it ended up costing us over US $40, and all we had was an entree each and a cerveza (beer.) We quickly realized that food was not much different in cost then going out for dinner back home, in Canada. For us being on a budget and travelling for the next 6 months this type of cost was way too much and we knew we could not eat like that every day.

Day 2 in Cabo San Lucas - Sightseeing Cabo

We drove and walked around Cabo San Lucas on Monday, January 14th. We walked around the Boulevard Marina and the water front (known as the Malecon) where all the boats and yachts are located. There are many restaurants, a few resorts and tons of vendors set up, selling you anything from candy, gum to clothing, jewellery, hand crafted ornaments, you name, it they had it! We found a somewhat busy patio (Restaurant Wamango De Baja) on the Malecon and decided to stop in for the special they were offering - 5 beers with nacho chips and salsa for only US $10. We watched the sunset and really enjoyed the day.

That evening we went to the local supermarket named Super Plaza Aramburo, because we needed to buy a few groceries. For people who do the all-inclusive and they think Mexico is really cheap, think again!! We found out that food in Cabo is not cheap at all and to give you a few examples: a green pepper is about US $2.38, that is for one pepper, most vegetables were very pricey because they are not grown in the Baha and are mostly imported from the US or mainland Mexico. Anything canned such as soups, vegetables were about US $2 to $3 per can...quite outrageous!! We bought a pasta sauce and it cost almost US $5. Bread was not bad, often at about US $1.50 to $2, but some may even think that is pricey. So it goes to show you that unless you are actually grocery shopping in Cabo you will never know how expensive food really is! We are not really sure how the locals can actually afford to grocery shop in Cabo.

Driving into Cabo San Lucas, BCS, Mexico

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.
