Santiago

Getting Here and Around

Just after the turnoff at Km 85 on Highway 1, the entrance into town is by way of a dirt path created by a former brook, now dried up during most months. Be very careful taking this path during the rainy season, when it can again run flush with water. Locals claim that all cars can pass, but that the easiest way to drive through the brook is to stay to either side of the small stream that forms during winter months. Even so, this small stretch of road is not for the faint of heart, and is easiest to drive over with the light of day, and the reassurance of traffic. Santiago is a stop on half of Los Cabos-La Paz bus routes, those that travel via Highway 1. (The other half that travel via Highway 19 and Todos Santos do not pass through.)
