Cabo Pulmo is located on the Sea of Cortez on the southern Baja Peninsula.   Its location features miles of white sand beaches and one of the few living coral reefs in western North America.  The waters off these beaches are so outstanding they have been designated a National Marine Park.  

Several local restaurants offer a variety of dining from traditional Mexican at Tito’s and El Caballero, fresh seafood at Juan’s Palapa on the beach, the varied menu of the Coral Reef, to more formal dining under the stars at Nancy’s.  There is a small grocery store stocking most staples and a good variety of fresh vegetables and fruit.  To supplement what is available at the store, small delivery trucks bring fresh bakery and grocery items to the village during the week.  Check with the property managers on arrival for the current schedule.

Even though you are definitely “out in the country” a 4-wheel drive is not necessary.  In fact, many people park their rental vehicles for the duration, walking to local activities.  There is no gas available in Cabo Pulmo.  The nearest gasoline station is in La Ribera on the way into Cabo Pulmo. 

Many activities are available within the local area.  The protected, warm waters behind the reef offer excellent swimming and snorkeling.  Outstanding scuba destinations are easily reached from Cabo Pulmo.  A series of coral fingers radiating out from the beach are home to hundreds of different species of colorful tropical fish.  Choose your depth, from waist deep snorkeling to deep-water diving.  Equipment and guided services for both activities are available at three local dive shops.  

Outstanding kayaking destinations to view sea lions or picnic on nearby, secluded beaches are easily reached from the beaches at Cabo Pulmo.  Kayaks can be rented locally for both unguided and guided trips.  When conditions are right, windsurfing is possible directly from the beaches at Cabo Pulmo and a surfing beach is available 20 miles south.

From your door at CASA LOS PAJAROS you can walk to hiking trails into the local hills, Cave Mountain and around Pulmo Mountain. 

Photographic and bird watching opportunities are endless.

  CABO PULMO is about a 60-mile drive from the International Airport at San Jose del Cabo.  Drive north on Mexico 1(the only northbound highway) approximately 35 miles to Kilometer 93 at Las Cuevas.  Turn right toward the Sea of Cortez and La Ribera.  After turning there are road signs directing you to the remaining 25 miles to Cabo Pulmo.  Except for the final 6 miles, which are gravel, the road is paved.

If you plan to purchase groceries before arriving in Cabo Pulmo we suggest shopping at one of the large supermarket on the northern outskirts of San Jose.  Ask for precise directions before leaving the car rental agency.  A more limited grocery selection is available in La Ribera and Cabo Pulmo.
