Itinerary
Day 1
Pick up from your San José del Cabo accommodation in the morning (start time chosen at booking). Approximate total duration 6 hours including transfers. The schedule below uses an 08:00 hotel pickup and returns to San José del Cabo by c.14:00.
Arrival & orientation in Todos Santos (town overview)
Short orientation stop in the central area of Todos Santos to introduce the town's history, layout and main highlights before walking to nearby sites.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable shoes and a hat — the town is best explored on foot and sections of the plaza are exposed to sun.
- Carry small bills for local vendors and artisans; many shops welcome cash for small purchases.
- Keep personal items close in busy plaza areas; brief orientation time is included to plan the walking route with your guide.
Visit Parroquia de Nuestra Señora del Pilar (historic church)
Visit the town's historic Catholic church located on the main plaza; short interior visit and time to photograph the exterior and plaza area.
Tips from local experts:
- The church is generally open to visitors between 09:00 and 17:00 — plan to be respectful and quiet during services.
- Modest dress is requested inside the church (covered shoulders and no hats).
- There are shaded benches in the plaza for a short rest while your guide explains the church's history.
Visit near Pescadero: traditional blanket / weaving site (overview & demonstration)
Short visit to a family-run weaving/blanket workshop in the Pescadero area to see wooden looms and learn about traditional blanket weaving techniques.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your guide for a brief demonstration of the looms — artisans typically explain the weaving process for visitors.
- The workshop is rural — bring a light jacket against coastal breezes and expect a short vehicle transfer from Todos Santos.
- Photography of the looms and artisans is common, but please ask permission before photographing people working.
Stop at the historic theater (side of main plaza)
Short exterior visit to the town's historic theater beside the main plaza — time for photos and a brief talk about local cultural life.
Tips from local experts:
- The theater façade and seating are historic; exterior photos are a good souvenir — keep group photos brief to maintain tour pace.
- This stop is a short walk from the main plaza; seating inside may be limited so this visit is primarily for photos and narration.
- Ask your guide about any local events or performances — schedules vary and sometimes coincide with market days.
Galería de Todos Santos (art gallery)
Visit Galería de Todos Santos to view local paintings and sculptures; time to browse and ask the gallery staff about featured artists and pieces.
Tips from local experts:
- Gallery staff can explain the mediums and local artists; ask about works available and any exhibit labels in English or Spanish.
- If you plan to buy art, allow extra time for packaging and transport arrangements; small items travel easily in carry-on luggage.
- Gallery hours can vary; this visit is scheduled mid-morning when galleries are typically open and less crowded.
Lunch & photos at Hotel California
Lunch stop and photo opportunity at the iconic Hotel California on Calle Benito Juárez. Time allocated for a relaxed meal and to enjoy the hotel's original façade and courtyard.
Tips from local experts:
- If you prefer a quieter spot, ask the host for courtyard or shaded seating when you are seated for lunch.
- Drinks at the restaurant are not included in the tour package; bottled water is provided aboard the vehicle.
- Allow time after lunch for photos of the hotel's façade; the guide will confirm the meeting point and departure time.
