Overview

Todos Santos, just over 1 hour north of Cabo San Lucas in Baja California, Mexico is a lifetime away in spirit and feel. There are no high-rises and most of the roads here are still sand. Todos can be described as a hippie-meets-surfer-meets-yogi kind of place where whales jump out of the ocean in celebration during the winter months. The weather is picture perfect and the beach is stunning. There is a lot of magic in the air. As we move into a fresh new year, join us to discover what makes a happier, healthier, more peaceful life.

A perfect way to start the new year.

Todos Santos is on Mexico’s Baja Peninsula and is separated from mainland Mexico by the Sea of Cortes, also known as the Gulf of California. This region of Mexico is a true natural paradise where vast deserts and high mountain ranges are flanked by the shimmering Sea of Cortez on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. The Baja peninsula is home to several unique ecosystems that are unlike anything else in the world. Several species of whales migrate through its waters each year.

Reviews

I have traveled twice with Girls' Guide to the World, and both trips have been exceptional! If you are looking for something different from the usual "touristy" attractions, then you should definitely choose this travel group. The hotels are first class, included meals are delicious, and the included events are fun things you might not find on your own. The small size of each group is very nice and enables access to places and activities that are unavailable when traveling with a large group. I have been traveling for 20 years, and Girls' Guide is absolutely the best!

You are going to want to fly into the Cabo San Lucas Airport.

The trip officially starts on the afternoon of January 17th,2023, but you may want to consider arriving a day early so you have time to relax and get acclimated to the local time zone. If you do decide to arrive early we can offer some suggestions of hotels near the airport in Cabo San Lucas. Remember if you are flying in the day the trip starts you need to arrive before 1:00pm to be able to take the included transportation to your hotel in Todos Santos.

We will have a zoom call about 6 weeks before the trip starts to discuss all that information and give you a packing list. Here is a great website that we love that will help you with packing and travel trips.

The average temperature in Todos Santos in January for a typical day ranges from a high of 76°F (25°C) to a low of 62°F (17°C). Some would describe it as mildly cool with a gentle breeze. 

Airport transfers are included on the day the trip starts if you arrive before 1:00pm to get on the arranged transfer. If you do arrive later that day we will have to arrange private transfer for you at an additional cost to you.
