Los Cabos Vacations: Package Holidays Offering Something for Everyone

General Information About Los Cabos Vacations

Located at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, Los Cabos is comprised of two towns, San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, linked by "the Corridor" – a 20-mile stretch of coast lined with newer high and low rise resort hotels. This Americanized destination primarily caters to singles, couples, and seniors in search of a great vacation golfing experience, among other attractions. Los Cabos vacations truly have something to offer for all tastes. For those who appreciate active nightlife, Cabo San Lucas will provide the answer on your Los Cabos vacation. But Los Cabos packages also cater to those in search of the serenity that can be found in San Jose del Cabo, a quiet colonial town that offers a laid-back vacation experience in a traditional Mexican setting.

All-inclusive Los Cabos packages offer a more upscale travel experience when compared with other Mexican destinations. Although it began as a cruise ship port, all-inclusive Los Cabos vacations at world-class hotels now represent the majority of tourist traffic to this area. Los Cabos vacations are the most popular holiday package choice for California area residents, and this destination certainly caters to North American expectations.

Taxis offer the best option for mobility on your Los Cabos vacation, and a 20 minute ride will take you from San Jose del Cabo into Los Cabos, at a cost of approximately $25 to $30.  Banking via ATM machines is no problem in Los Cabos, but access is more limited in San Jose del Cabo. Although many resorts have water purification facilities on-site, we recommend that you drink bottled water.

Sand and Sun on Your Los Cabos Vacation

Generally speaking, the wide, flat beaches along Los Cabos are nice, although the rough water and potentially dangerous undertow prohibits swimming. However, these conditions offer a great opportunity for the adventurous traveler to enhance their Los Cabos vacation with some great surfing. The sand is light golden coloured, very beautiful, and great for long walks. 

All-inclusive Los Cabos package vacations provide a great escape from the cold. The subtropical desert climate of Los Cabos, although further north than many other sun destinations, offers good temperatures year round. During the summer, daytime highs can extend into the 90?F range, with occasional showers, but the winter daytime highs are more comfortable, in the high 70s, with evening temperatures that may drop into the 60s. Speak with your tripcentral agent to ensure that you pack appropriate clothing to suit your all-inclusive Los Cabos vacation, as temperatures can, at times, be extreme.

Although Los Cabos vacations are generally less impacted by hurricanes when compared with Caribbean destinations, the possibility remains. However, when booking Los Cabos vacation packages, you can rest assured that tour operators will not fly you into a hurricane, will act fast to get you out in the event of any development, and will offer an alternative destination or travel credit by way of compensation if your holiday plans are affected. You can find great Los Cabos vacation package deals during hurricane season, and the economic advantage is well worth considering. We recommend that you speak with one of our tripcentral agents to fully understand the great value benefit vs. limited risk associated with travel to this region during hurricane season.

Things to See and Do on Your Los Cabos Package Vacation

For those in search of nightlife on your Los Cabos vacation, Cabo San Lucas is the place to be. Although not as vibrant as the Cancun scene, you will find outdoor bars and big dance clubs – a surprisingly dense array of options in a relatively small space. For dining on your Los Cabos package holiday, enjoy the wide variety of American chain and local Mexican restaurants along the main strip in Cabo San Lucas. To further enhance your Los Cabos vacation, enjoy shopping for souvenirs and handmade crafts in Cabo San Lucas, which features exclusive boutiques and outdoor markets. San Jose del Cabo, although a great place to see the sights of a quiet colonial Mexican town, does not offer anything in the way of nightlife or dining, and only limited shopping.

For scuba diving and snorkelling enthusiasts, an all-inclusive Los Cabos vacation package has much to offer, as both are varied and popular in this area. Don't forget to try deep sea fishing on your Los Cabos vacation, also extremely popular at this destination, along with added adventure of surfing.  Many travellers choose Los Cabos packages for the outstanding golf courses, comparable to high-end courses in California. Furthermore, enhance your Los Cabos vacation with one of many day trips, and enjoy such activities as whale-watching, desert tours, deep sea fishing, dune buggy tours, and zip-lining, to name a few. And, not to be missed is the wonderful site of El Arco (The Arch), a rocky arch formation in Cabo San Lucas.

All-Inclusive Los Cabos Vacation Package Availability, Accommodations, and Value

Although often pricier than other Mexican destination packages, all-inclusive Los Cabos vacations have so much to offer, all in a newer development that compares favourably to the Mayan Riviera. All-inclusive Los Cabos packages are widely available throughout the winter season, from Western Canada – departing from Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver.  Departures from Toronto provide, with some variability, year round Los Cabos vacation opportunities, and great all-inclusive deals may be found in the off season. Departures out of Toronto have increased in recent years, and may represent the only option for those wishing to fly from the east, as flights are not offered from Montreal or Eastern Canada. 

The majority of the all-inclusive Los Cabos vacation resort hotels are large-scale and new. Los Cabos packages offer a variety of hotel options, including both high-rise and low-rise hotels, and plenty of condos. Generally, Los Cabos is quieter than both Cancun and downtown Puerto Vallarta, but the vibrant nightlife in Cabo San Lucas contrasted with the quiet of San Jose del Cabo give this destination a considerably wide appeal. Also, for those planning a dream wedding in the sun, this destination offers a wide array of options to suit a variety of needs, and our tripcentral agents can help you to put together a Los Cabos vacation package to remember.
