Touring Cabo’s San Lucas Desert

The amazing desert scenery provided by the natural landscape in and around Cabo San Lucas as a whole has made it a real wonderland for nature lovers and thrill seekers of all ages and persuasions. If you want to spend some time soaking up the natural world in fine weather and sunshine, Cabo San Lucas is for you. This popular tourist destination offers plenty of tours which will show you the highlights of the surrounding area, and will let you get about in fun and novel ways. Whether you’re hankering for a horse-ride, are absolutely amazed by ATVs, or can’t resist camels, Cabo San Lucas’s desert has something to offer you.

Take a look at these desert tours in Cabo San Lucas that you can enjoy anytime of the year.

Touring Cabo’s Desert by ATV

All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) tours have become quite popular in the travel and tourism industry as a whole, but there are few places in Mexico, or the world, which are as perfectly suited for these hardy vehicles as Cabo San Lucas. The rugged beauty of this region is famous, and ATV’s make short work of rocky desert ground and sandy beaches. When you sign up to one of these adventures you will, of course, be given proper safety equipment, but we still recommend that you don’t wear your very best clothes as they are likely to become covered in dirt, dust and sweat over the course of the day.

Camels! Yes, Camels!

You might think that you need to be in the Arabian Desert in order to experience a ride on camel back, but this is not the case. You can easily find companies who will let you tour the desert and beaches of Cabo San Lucas on the back of a camel; and you will get many opportunities to take photos while you do so. This is quite a relaxed tour, and the pace is gentle. You’ll see the Sierra Madre Mountains, the Ocean, and the canyons of Cabo with plenty of time to see the flora and fauna which is native to the area.

Touring Cabo’s Desert on Horseback

Horseback tours are perennial favourites at any beach destination across the world, and Cabo San Lucas is no different. If you have ever wanted to ride one of these intensely beautiful, graceful, and powerful animals down a stunning beach as the waves lap the sand then this could be your chance! On these tours you will have professional guides, so there’s no need to worry if you’re not an equestrian at home; the horses will also have been chosen for their calm and gentle nature to make them suitable for less confident riders, too. The sea breeze, warm sunshine, and lapping waves make this a relaxing, and even spiritual experience.

So, be sure to experience one of these tours on your next visit to Cabo San Lucas.

Art Walk in Cabo

San Jose del cabo has a thriving art scene that can be experienced in many ways, but we think one of the best and most interactive ways to get to grips with the scene as a whole is to take part in the Cabo Art Walk which takes place every Thursday night between November and June.

This fun Cabo event was established by the local Gallery District Association, and has become a mainstay for locals and visitors alike; the Los Cabos Art Walk event has become so huge, in fact, that the local government actually closes off some of the narrow back streets that the walk uses to limit traffic and allow walkers to stroll at their leisure. Most of the galleries in the area observe special hours for this event and will generally open from 5pm to 9pm.

Art Walk – A Fabulous Cultural Experience in Los Cabos

Every Thursday night from November through June, the entire Gallery District of San Jose del Cabo comes alive with energy and excitement; you will often encounter live music and entertainment in the streets and main plaza as you make your way through the area. There is always a fascinating mix of tourists, locals, and artists in the area, chatting, and mingling in the sophisticated yet vibrant art scene that can be found here. The Art Walk is a relaxing evening which will see you soaking up culture while you enjoy free snacks and drinks.

Art Walk Thursdays

San Jose del Cabo is famous for its easy-going vibe and creative scene; you can find an impressive selection of unique works here including sculptures, paintings, glass work, bead work, jewellery, ceramics, and local handicrafts. Galleries will generally have special opening hours to coincide with the Cabo Art Walk, so you can be sure you’ll get to look at what’s on offer while you soak up some culture.

Some Cabo galleries even have special events where you get to meet local artists for Q&A sessions, or even to show off new works. Be sure to ask questions; artists love to talk about their inspiration, and even their methods.

After Art Dinner in Cabo

The fun of the evening needn’t end when the Art Walk does, however; you can always keep the night going with your fellow walkers! Why not stop off at one of the amazing restaurants to be found within the Art District? You will find that there are many great options; al fresco dining in courtyards and patios, sophisticated atmospheres indoors, speciality tequilas, and fine wines… it can all be found here.

We guarantee that you won’t regret taking part in the San Jose del Cabo Art Walk; it’s a great way to get in touch with the local art scene, and the atmosphere is phenomenal.

Whale Watching in Cabo San Lucas

Every year between December and April, Cabo San Lucas and the surrounding shoreline is host to hordes of tourists from all across the globe. This is the time when thrill seekers come to this popular destination for sensational entertainment, unlimited fun and unique adventures in the Mexican sun. Cabo San Lucas has always drawn a wide and varied array of people to its shores: retirees and snowbirds looking for a second home, lovebirds looking for romance and families and friend groups on a range of vacations all come here. Yet, without fail, it is the beach destination’s largest yearly visitors who draw the biggest crowds and most attention during their five month stay! All the way from the freezing arctic waters, pods of Humpback whales come to the Sea of Cortez for some warmth at this time of year.

A family treat in Cabo San Lucas

Those who’re enjoying a being in Cabo San Lucas at this time of year should really consider heading out on a whale watching excursion; it is one of the most memorable and rewarding activities of the year! When you see the astounding displays put on by these magnificent beasts it becomes abundantly clear that they, just like you, are thrilled to be in sunny Cabo San Lucas .

The locals in Cabo San Lucas have become so accustomed to the presence of these wonderful creatures that many have opened up tour companies which actually guarantee sightings. Such tours only accept smaller groups, however, so as to avoid overwhelming or panicking the whales. Few return disappointed. As well as these almost guaranteed sightings of humpbacks there are generally up to seven other species which could be seen in the area, including Fin, Sei, Gray, Minke, Blue, and Bryde whales.

The reason these great and gentle beasts come here is because the warm waters which surround the Baja California Peninsula are the perfect place in which to raise their young before they take the long journey north once more. If you watch closely when you see them you might see the mothers teaching their young survival skills. The Pacific s a very dangerous place fobyoung calves (or ebn weak adults) due to the sharks and Orcas that prey on them so this is an important training ground.

The migration of these beasts can take up to six months, one of the longest migrations of animal in the world, and so it makes sense that they take such joy in their respite in the Sea of Cortez. Trust us when we say that if you plan your trip to Cabo San Lucas in order to see these creatures you will not be disappointed.

Advantages For Snowbirds of Property Ownership

Escaping the hard winters of colder climates in favor of sunshine and warmth elsewhere is a choice we’d all like to be able to make, and for some it’s a reality. Those who are retired, facing retirement, those who work from home, and those who have flexible business schedules often choose this path. And why wouldn’t you? The sunshine, warmth, sand, and sea are great accompaniments to winter living, and in Mexico you are guaranteed all four!

Advantages for Snowbirds of Property Ownership

The benefits of being a snowbird in Mexico are pretty obvious, but have you considered the benefits of property ownership? Let’s consider the advantages of property ownership now…

Peace of mind

Snowbirds can spend huge amounts of time each year looking for a suitable property to rent, but if you own your own property you not only know what you’ll be getting and where you’ll be going, but you’ll have no issue with arrival and departure dates. It’s all in your hands. All you have to do is arrive!

Savings and investments

The money you spend on rent as a permanent or long-term snowbird can be quite something, but if you were to instead invest this in a purchase you might even get some money back by renting out your property when you’re not using it. Otherwise, you could just be pouring money away on rent rather than investing in property ownership that is for life.

Guaranteed Quality

You know that when you get there everything will be just the way you like it to be. Property ownership means choosing the place that is perfect for you and spending time making it your escape in paradise whenever you want.

Property ownership doesn’t have to be a burden

There are many places like Villa La Estancia Residences which offer fractional as well as full deeded ownership to those who want an investment with no ties. Property ownership in a gated resort community means all the benefits with less responsibility!

Build Up to Full Ownership with Fractions

If you start as a fractional snowbird owner you can very often build up your owned fractions over time until you own the full property. This is a steady and manageable way to buy real estate in Mexico.

If you want more information about owning fully deeded and fractional properties browse our website and contact us in Riviera Nayarit and Cabo San Lucas.
