It's 11 km (7 mi) northwest of the Baja California Sur capital, which itself is 188 km (117 mi) northwest of Los Cabos. Loreto's Aeropuerto Internacional Loreto is 7 km (4 1/2 mi) southwest of town. Taxis between the La Paz and Loreto airports and their respective towns are inexpensive (about $5) and convenient. Fares from the airport to hotels in Los Cabos are expensive. The least expensive transport is by shuttle buses that stop at various hotels along the route; fares run $12 to $25 per person. Private taxi fares run from $20 to $40. Ask about hotel transfers if you're staying in the East Cape, La Paz, and Todos Santos and you're not renting a car -- cab fares to these areas are astronomical.
