Todos Santos Private Transportation

Todos Santos sits on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur, about an hour north of Cabo San Lucas and a world away in atmosphere. It was designated a Pueblo Mágico “Magic Town” by the Mexican government, a recognition reserved for places with exceptional cultural and historical significance. It earns it.

The town is small enough to walk in an afternoon but layered enough to keep you busy for days. Colonial-era sugar mill ruins sit alongside contemporary art galleries. Boutique hotels occupy restored 19th-century haciendas. The Thursday market draws local farmers, ceramicists, and food vendors who have been coming for years. Hotel California, whether or not it inspired the Eagles song, remains one of the most photographed facades in Baja.

The Pacific beaches here are uncrowded and powerful. Punta Lobos is a working fishing beach where boats come in each morning with the catch. Playa Los Cerritos, a few miles south, is one of the most beginner-friendly surf breaks on the peninsula. From December through April, gray whales pass close to shore on their migration south. It is the kind of coastline that makes people extend their trips.
