Imagine being in a destination that is the opposite of your last busy trip, a quiet place with an inspiring bohemian vibe, where art overflows and you are surrounded by pure air, orchards, mountains and a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean.

Todos Santos is that magical place you’ve always dreamed of losing yourself in, just like Alice in Wonderland. 

This little town in Baja California Sur is definitely a place for dreamers. It has only 5200 inhabitants, making it even more special and cozy. 

In Todos Santos there is a community of Mexicans and foreigners dedicated to art. Painters, writers, sculptors and artisans that come from all over the world to stay. There is a 100% chance that at the end of the Todos Santos tour you won’t want to leave either.

Known as the magical town, Todos Santos is halfway between Cabo San Lucas and La Paz, with a distance of 1 hr. from San Jose Cabo Airport (SJD), where the fascinating VIP Todos Santos tour begins.

A very active cultural life, beautiful cobblestone streets, the coolest climate in the region, many fun activities to do, and places to visit await you on the incredible Todos Santos.

As I said, the tour starts from your arrival at the airport (SJD), where VIP Transportation will pick you up and start the Mexican party. They can also pick you up from any location in Los Cabos.

On the way to Todos Santos, you can admire the picturesque scenery while relaxing and enjoying a beer or tequila in a luxury vehicle with Air Conditioning. Not bad, right?

The fascinating tour begins in Plaza de Armas, where the famous chapel “La Misión de Todos los Santos” is located.

• Plaza de Armas and surroundings

From there, the tour begins, you’ll start enjoying the colonial architecture that stands out for its pastel tones. Don’t be surprised when you see sculptures of the saints of devotion on the roof of some local’s homes.

Through its cobblestone streets and surrounded by enormous fruit trees, you can reach the Néstor Agúndez Cultural Center, as well as the Manuel Márquez de León Theater and General Cinema, where you can explore for a little while.

Art is breathed in Todos Santos, so the next stop on the VIP Tour is to see some of the most peculiar galleries, among the more than 20 galleries on the main avenue.

And if you are interested in more local art, The Indigo Gallery is a necessary stop on this tour.  

Something incredible about Todos Santos is how its people managed to make their traditions survive through time with art.

A tour of Todos Santos would not be complete without visiting the place that was the inspiration for the famous hit song of The Eagles in the 1970s. 

• Mandatory stop at Hotel California

In addition to being a source of musical inspiration, the Hotel California is one of the beautiful buildings of the early twentieth century where you cannot help but take a mini photo session to update your social media.

After touring part of this magical town, you will surely be hungry. VIP Transportation takes you to the best restaurants so you can get to know the unique gastronomy of Todos Santos.

In addition, fresh fruit drinks such as papaya and mango juice stand out. And of course, guacamole, and salads made with local creamy avocados are a must.

Jazamango, Caffe Todos Santos, and Tequila’s Sunrise Bar & Grill are some of the best options for recharging your energy.

What Is the Best Type of Transportation to Get to Your Airbnb in Los Cabos?

Date: By Categories: Tips No comments

Last Updated on August 17, 2022

Traveling to Los Cabos is daring to experience something new, it’s to live adventures, and then have a thousand stories to tell. To fill your luggage with good experiences you must have a couple of things solved before your arrival, among those, the transportation to get from the airport to your Airbnb in Los Cabos.

Why is it important to choose the right type of transportation in Cabo?

In addition to the fact that being stranded in a foreign country is no fun at all, adequate transportation guarantees your safety and that of those who accompany you, it also helps you save on travel expenses, and it makes the beginning of your trip in Los Cabos either unforgettable, or scary.  

If you rent Airbnb in Los Cabos it means that you are a person who knows very well what you want, someone who has as a priority: safety, privacy, comfort and innovation. So your transport must match all these features.

For you to choose your ideal transport from the airport to your Airbnb accommodation, we have prepared this list of advantages and disadvantages of transportation options in Los Cabos.

But before getting started, something you must consider when choosing your type of transportation is  the distance from the airport to your Airbnb accommodation. 

Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is located 11 km north of San Jose del Cabo and 48 km northeast of Cabo San Lucas, the two main cities of Los Cabos. 

Most domestic, and international flights arrive at this airport, although there is also the Cabo San Lucas International Airport (CSL), which is only 10 minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas and receives mainly private planes.

It is important to be clear about this because the distances from the airport to your Airbnb accommodation may be quite long, so you will wish you had chosen the best possible type of transportation.

Let’s start with the most common option.

1. Taxis

Advantages: In Los Cabos, taxis are large vans that can carry up to 10 passengers, the red and yellow vans operate in San José del Cabo, and the blue vans in Cabo San Lucas, so they cover the entire city. Another advantage is that they are available 24 hours a day. 

Disadvantages: On the one hand, we have that, because taxi drivers are usually on the lookout for tourists outside the airport, they can be a bit harassing or insistent to make you come with them.

And on the other hand, taxis tend to have the highest fares, between $60 and $70, plus a surcharge for each passenger, so it will depend on your budget whether you choose this type of transportation or not.

2. Car Rental

Advantages: Rented cars allow you to move fast, comfortably and privately, although they can be a little expensive, in terms of prices, they are better than taxis. 

Another advantage is that they are located outside the airport so you don’t have to go far to get the car.

Disadvantages: Los Cabos has only one main road, which makes local drivers have a particular way of driving, and by particular I mean aggressive, but don’t worry, this only means you have to be alert until you adapt. 

Renting a car sounds like a lot of fun, and it is at first, but when you realize you’re lost looking for directions, and then no one wants to be the designated driver, it kind of stops being fun.

3. Public transportation

Advantages: Buses located outside the International Airport in San Jose del Cabo depart every 15 minutes, so you don’t have to wait too long. They also have a fairly low fare of $2.50 per trip.

Disadvantages:

Buses make several stops along the “Corredor Turístico” that connects both cities: Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, so the trip may take more than 1 hour, depending on where your Airbnb is located.

Public transportation isn’t very convenient if you’re heading to an Airbnb, as it won’t drop you off in the exact address, because it follows a marked route with specific stops, and getting stuck asking for directions on your first day in Los Cabos doesn’t sound like the best plan ever.

Let’s say it’s Buses are more convenient to use for going to tourist sites within the cities than as your airport shuttle.

4. Private transportation

Advantages: 

A private shuttle service ensures that you are absolutely comfortable, and allows you to enjoy the beautiful ride to your Airbnb. 

Everything is arranged in advance, so you’ll avoid the stress of dealing with TimeShare Sharks outside the airport and payment.

You won’t have to waste time waiting for the departure, or while making stops to drop off other passengers because the car will be waiting for you right outside the airport.

If you book your transfer with VIP Transportation Los Cabos, you have a luxurious experience that will mark the beginning of your Cabo adventure.

VIP Transportation picks you up in a modern SUV, with air conditioning, drinks included, and a bilingual driver. 

They’re also pet friendly, they have the best prices among other shuttle services, plus, they locate your Airbnb with no problem, and thanks to their years of tourism experience, they offer you all the secrets you want to know about Los Cabos.

Disadvantages: None, private transportation is undoubtedly the winning option in this ranking. 

When you visit an unknown destination, you face many decisions you don’t really know how to make, you have little local knowledge and a lot at risk. Luckily you no longer have to worry about which transport to choose to arrive safely to your Airbnb.

Book your transfer at https://www.old.viptransportationloscabos.com/ , cross this off your to-do list, and get ready to enjoy an unforgettable trip surrounded by the beauty of Los Cabos.  

Now that you know that booking private transportation is the best decision to have a Cabo dream trip, it’s time to talk about the details of your airport shuttle to your Airbnb accommodation.
