Cabo, Cabo, Cabo…¡Olé, Cabo! “We loved Cabo!” “We had the most fabulous time in Cabo!” “We can’t wait to go back to Cabo!” I’ve heard friends say all of these things this past year, and knew at once they were talking about Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. However, had I heard these same words from someone 40 years ago, I would have scratched my head in wonder at what in the world they were talking about. Archeologists claim people have been living there for 10,000 years. Historians claim the first modern settlements date from the mid-19th century. But, in truth, it’s only been in the last few decades that Cabo San Lucas has exploded into the consciousness of savvy world travelers. And what an impact it’s had! Today Cabo ranks as one of the top five tourist destinations in Mexico, and with good reason. With one of the most beautiful shorelines in the world, sunshine year round and a list a mile long of exciting things to do while there, Cabo has earned its reputation as one of "the" places to go in Mexico—or anywhere in the world, for that matter.
Everything in Cabo, "Where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean,” begins with water. Swimming? Check. Sun bathing? Check. Sailing? Check. Kayaking? Check. Whale watching? Snorkeling? Mini-submarine tours? Deep sea fishing for marlin? Check, check, check and check.
There are countless fun things to do as well for the landlubbers amongst you: Fine dining?—enough choices to make you dizzy…the seafood’s especially tempting. Shopping?—unique jewelry, fine fashions, handicrafts and more…Cabo’s got them all. Sightseeing?—desert splendors, geological wonders, historic sites…your only problem will be which ones to choose! Nightlife? Jazz clubs here, cantinas there, nightclubs everywhere…you may never want to sleep. A popular option for traveling to Cabo is by cruise ship. You have a chance to sample the best that Cabo has to offer with the assistance of an experienced on-board team of travel professionals. They can help you plan your time in Cabo on shore or at sea or both. You’ll still have a tough time choosing just how to spend your time (and money), but they’ll help make the process a tad bit easier. It just so happens that the Aramco ExPats Travel Club is sponsoring a one-week adventure on the Ruby Princess in October. For more information, click the buttons below.
