It would appear that the 20 hour estimate for Cabo is correct. See this site for drive info. Cabo is on the very Southern tip of Baja.

Kevy, does it really show 20 hours? I sure wouldn't want to drive down there in the dark. Lots of cows on the road.

From the last paragraph:

Quote:

A great spot to stop midway between Cabo San Lucas and Tijuana is San Ignacio. San Ignacio is about a 10 hour drive from Cabo San Lucas and a 10 hour drive from Tijuana. A terrific place to stay is the Ignacio Springs B&B.

While it doesn't explicitly say 20 hours, I think one can easily add the 10 hours from Tijuana to San Ignacio to the 10 hours from San Ignacio to Cabo to come up with 20 hours.

Also, the site talks about the kinds of roads (poor) and gas availability (poor) and other such factors. The read for me was that I personally wouldn't want to make the drive.

Cabo is definitely the closest and nicest town. It's extremely clean, but the prices are a bit higher, since it is a tourist destination.

Mazatlan is very old school and authentic. I'd highly recommend it.

Puerto Vallarta has really grown in the last three years. It's still old school, but quickly becoming more of a touristy place.

And, avoid Acapulco like the plague, unless you like a bunch of garbage and dead fish in beach waters.
