Travel to Los Cabos, BCS

Travel to Los Cabos,
If you are looking to travel to the Los Cabo area please check out these few tips to reduce your cost and increase your enjoyment.
If you are traveling by air, make sure you check for flights Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as they are many times cheaper fares. Also the time of the flight can make a significant difference in cost. Early or late fights are many times much cheaper but it depends on which flights are the most popular as the least popular are typically cheaper fares. Third, many airlines have Web Special fares which will not always show up on sites like Expedia, Travelocity, etc. So after checking on your favorite site please check directly on a few of your considered airlines web sites directly before booking.
If traveling by car then make sure you get car insurance for Mexico before you cross the boarder. Most domestic insurance companies do not include travel into Mexico. There are many web sites to book vehicle, boat, watercraft and trailer on line. Don't take the chance without it. Also if you stay in the Baja you will not need a vehicle visa but if you are planning on driving in mainland Mexico then you will need to get a vehicle visa which can be gotten at the border or in La Paz before you get on the ferry.
A few years ago with a dear friend, who has driven it more than I can count, we drove the Baja all the way to Cabo San lucas. It is a very interesting drive with the desert seemingly changing every hundred miles. We saw many different type of cactus, even some blooming. At one point we drove through a canyon much like the Grand canyon which was 108 degrees at the bottom and 86 at the top. A small town in the middle of the desert that looks like an oasis made up of Palm trees around a spring with an old mission built in the 1700's.
The town of Mulge has a grand chapel made out of steel plate designed by Eiffel. ( yes the man who built and designed the Eiffel tower) And you can not forget the beautiful white sandy beaches of Loreto.
Then the Capital of Baja California Sur, La Paz. Beautiful city with its grand Malicion along the bay and shops across the street. Then about half way to Cabo San Lucas from La Paz is the artistic town of Todos Santos! Stop and have lunch at the Hotel California and walk the streets to more than 30 art galleries many with the artists on site and very friendly.Has anyone had a trip they would like to tell us about.
I found it to be a great adventure and if you time it right in the winter you will be treated to some unforgeable whale watching. The whales come in to the bays to have their babies. An experience you will not want to miss
