Saddle Bags to Shorelines

January 22nd, 2025 through January 29th, 2025

 

We're Throttle Travel and we're revving up for a wild adventure that'll have you trading January snowdrifts for sandy beaches in Cabo San Lucas, in Mexico! Yep, you heard that right – while most are bundling up, we'll be gearing up for some serious fun down in sunny Cabo at The Riu Palace Baja California! Don't the let the name confuse you...not located in California, but at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico.  Los Cabos boasts breathtaking natural beauty, vibrant culture, and endless opportunities for adventure. From the stunning beaches of the Sea of Cortez to the dramatic desert landscapes, this enchanting destination offers something for everyone. We will explore the vibrant city of Cabo San Lucas, known for its lively nightlife, bustling marina, and iconic landmarks such as El Arco and Lover's Beach. Our trip wouldn't be complete without a visit to Cabo Wabo Cantina, opened by Sammy Hagar in 1990. Click here to read more on the Cabo Wabo Cantina history and how it got it's name.

Did someone say whales? January marks the peak of whale watching season! Witness the majestic marine giants that grace the waters of the Baja Peninsula. You will experience awe-inspiring sightings of several species of whales, including the magnificent humpback whales which migrate from colder norther waters to the warm nutrient-rich breeding grounds of the Sea of Cortez. And, an occasional spotting of gray whales, known for their annual migration from Alaska to give birth to their calves. As these gentle giants breach, spout, and play in the azure waters of Los Cabos, you will be left captivated by the sheer beauty and majesty of these incredible creatures. 

For outdoor enthusiasts, Los Cabos offers world-class fishing, snorkeling, diving, hiking, and golfing opportunities amidst stunning coastal scenery. Opportunities to discover the awe-inspiring beauty of Los Cabos' natural wonders, including the rugged beauty of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, the pristine beaches of the East Cape, and the breathtaking views from scenic overlooks such as Mirador Finisterra.
