Getting around
Los Cabos airport (SJD) is 45 minutes from Cabo San Lucas town. Pre-book a shared or private transfer; the airport taxi mafia charges 3-4× the going rate.
The Corridor (highway between San José and Cabo San Lucas) is where most resorts sit. Rent a car for one day only if you want to explore Todos Santos or East Cape.
