CABO SAN LUCAS:

JOURNEY TO TODOS SANTOS

Although only an hour away from Cabo San Lucas, you will notice that the difference between Cabo and Todos Santos - in both mood and climate - is significant.

Welcome to Todos Santos (All Saints), which sits on the Pacific coast below the towering Sierra de la Laguna mountains at the end of a long and scenic ride up the coast from Cabo. On a mesa overlooking the valley of gardens and orchards, it is only about a mile from the Pacific, and is flush with groves of papayas, mangoes, and palms.

What really makes this sleepy town famous is the number of artists, particularly American, who have settled here. The town has been nicknamed "Bohemian Baja," and abounds with studios and galleries, as well as cultural points of interest. You will get the unique experience of visiting the artists in their own studio as they make their creations, such as pottery, blanket weaving, and more.

Visit the Hotel California, rumored to be the inspiration for the Eagles' famous song of the same name. You will also see The Mission, the famous Hotel Todos Santos Inn and Gallery, Las Palmas Beach, and the Casa de la Cultura Museum. This museum is full of artifacts from the past, including a 3,000-year-old Mantacita man who was discovered in a secondary burial site.

Of course, you will have lots of shopping time as well, as you browse the galleries, regional candy stores (with candies made from seasonal fruits!), and more. This tour will also give you a view of this area's unique architecture, and there will be plenty of time for lunch at your discretion. Meanwhile, your guide will always be there with information and advice if you have special requests for the day.


Afterwards, you will be transferred back to your starting point.

Then there's the swimming with Dolphins and general shopping fun.
