The Experience

The tour starts with pickup from your Cabo hotel and the drive south on Highway 19 to Todos Santos, one of Baja's earliest settlements. Once there, you'll visit the Old Jesuit Mission—Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Pilar—and Teatro Márquez de León, one of the oldest theaters in the peninsula. The guide walks you through the town's colonial history and how it shaped what stands there now.

From the mission, the art walk takes you through Galería de Todos Santos and the shops and galleries Todos Santos is known for. You'll stop at the Hotel California—the landmark that inspired the Eagles song—then move to a Mexican blanket factory where you can watch weavers at work and see how the pieces are made. A pearl demonstration follows, showing how pearls are harvested and graded. Throughout the morning, you get panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean from various stops around town.

Lunch happens at a traditional restaurant in the center of Todos Santos, and a tequila tasting is part of the experience. The whole outing runs six hours from pickup to return, so you're back in Cabo by early afternoon. Small group size keeps the pace manageable and the commentary personal.
