Drive Time Vizcaino to Cabo San Lucas
Hi all,
Looking for an approximate drive time from Vizcaino to Los Cabos. We won't be stopping very often and are veteran Baja drivers. We're finally
heading down to visit some friends in Elias Calles and then taking the kids to the Pirate Ship in Cabo.
Thanks in advance.
Zac
PS...weather is great in Bahia Asuncion. Come on down and visit.

2.5 to either of Los Cabos

It's always faster the I plan for. Once you get past the grade inbound to Santa Rosalia and the mountains past Loreto it goes quick, I do tend to
drive hard. It's about 450 miles, so it's a full day. Done the drive from Rice and Beans to Todos easy in a day, but is most of the day. 10 plus hours
of driving. Your mileage/time may very.
If am am doing the full drive to the tip first day is S I. Rice & Beans first day. Where ever I going around the tip day 2. Lots of nomads think
this is to fast. It works for me I not retired and I have lots to do, yet.
Have fun and be safe.

I usually use 50 MPH as a general rule in Baja. I know when I've looked at the GPS on long trips, that's usually my average. Just divide the miles
by 50 (or 40 to be conservative) and you have a good guess. I'm just stating this to hear myself talk. I know you have it handled.
Have fun. I'll hold the chicken coop fort down while your gone.

It's an easy day's drive if you get an early start, on the road at 6am, drinking a margarita in Cabo at 6pm....be careful and have fun.....dt

Watch those uphill left hand turns. Know you're a veteran,
but it doesn't hurt to remind ourselves.

And construction out of Loreto, coming in to Insurgentes, before the Agriculture Inspection at KM 22 north of La Paz.
Lots of highway re-surfacing projects and could be an hour wait at the "taking down the mountain" site out of Loreto.

9 constructions sites out of Loreto south...with waits of up to one hour at one spot. factor that in to the usual, I count on a minimum of one
additional hour Loreto to Constitucion.

Thanks again. I was wondering about any construction. We will leave early and stop in Elias Calles on the way down.
Coming back north to Bahia Asuncion we will get a hotel. Any suggestions for family friendly hotels? We have stayed at El Morro in El Rosario in the
past.
