Day 8–9: Cabo Pulmo
We had finally arrived! We had reached the crowning jewel of our travels, Parque Nacionale Cabo Pulmo. This little village is 100% solar-powered, well-water fed, dirt road accessible and 5 miles of national park protected beach and coral reef. After our day trip to Santiago we drove around to the East Cape on the Sea of Cortez, arriving around 4pm. In every way the hotel in...
Day 8 - Day trip to SantiagoWe woke up with the sun, which we were finding usual and refreshing in this region of the world. Everyone got up early and everyone felt good about it. We left San Pedrito by 8am facing a 2 hour drive across the cape.

Los Cerritos is more of a small tourist destination given that its crescent shaped beach is protected by the rocky point. Typically, swimming on the Pacific...
Day 5: El PescaderoIt was much nicer out than the previous day as we left from Cabo San Lucas in search of some mexican solitude. On the way up Highway 19 we stopped in at Puente La Tinaja again using the oceanside access of the highway via a retorno right at KM 94. There was sun and surf and just about no one else around except for two locals already enjoying the beautiful surf in the calm...
