Enjoy Time Scuba Diving
When you’re fortunate enough to leave cold weather and snow behind in the name of fun in the sun this winter in Los Cabos, all of those summertime adventures can be continued! That includes scuba diving for those who prefer to plan their excursions under the waves. In fact, the Sea of Cortez is known and loved as a prime scuba diving location for both experienced divers and those in the process of learning for certification alongside an instructor. Wherever your skill level falls on that scale, spending time scuba diving through your winter vacation is sure to thrill. Getting a closer look at the amazing creatures and habitats that exist just below the waves is truly a remarkable way to spend time during your winter getaway. Waters around Cabo San Lucas in particular are home to everything from whale sharks and coral reefs to octopi, sea turtles, sea lions, and more!
Make the Most of Whale Watching Adventures
One of the most exciting aspects of a trip to Los Cabos in the winter is that you’ll be arriving in town alongside a collection of migrating whales! This time of year, a variety of whale species hit the waters in pursuit of the perfect places to have their calves before returning on the route once more. Enjoying time watching these magnificent creatures could easily be the highlight of your getaway experience. The best whale watching times in Los Cabos fall between December and March, putting winter travelers in prime time to make the most of the exciting views. The best way to whale watch is by booking a tour with a company that specializes in this type of excursion. The boats used by these local companies are often designed to protect people and whales alike while the professionals onboard know exactly where to go and when to spot the most whales at once. Many tours even offer guests a chance to utilize a hydrophone along the way which allows you to listen to whale songs as they travel underwater!
Explore the Gallery District in San Jose del Cabo
While time on the water is a delight in the winter months in Los Cabos, this area is just as rich in history for those with a passion for pursuing culture, arts, and the past. One of the best places to spend time exploring when you’re looking for some historical or creative inspiration this winter is the gallery district in San Jose del Cabo. This area is generally thought of as a more traditional space within the greater Los Cabos area as it’s packed with historical landmarks, unique traditional architecture, and specialized stores featuring handcrafted goods as well. The gallery district in this area highlights some of the most intriguing Mexican art traditions in abundance—all of which are well worth checking out while you’re here. On Thursday evenings between 5:00 pm and 9:00 pm, the gallery district hosts an Art Walk where stores are open later than usual, inviting visitors to come and linger and admire work while making the most of delicious options available along the street too.
Set Aside Time for the Beach
Because the cold and snow simply aren’t a risk here this time of year, taking time to unwind on the beach is a popular winter activity to enjoy when you’re in Los Cabos! Sunseekers will be thrilled to find that time on the sand is a delight in the winter months. That means you can feel free to grab a beach chair and towel and head over to popular stops like Chileno Beach or Medano Beach when you’re looking to soak up the sun in style. Those on the hunt for a more tranquil locale will find it waiting for them at destinations like Palmilla Beach with ease. Whether you’re dedicated to enjoying ocean views, or you can’t wait to grab a snorkel and get in the water, there’s no reason to leave beach hopping off your winter itinerary.

December 2019 and January 2020 Travel Itinerary in Cabo
There’s a lot one can learn from nature during winter. While most of us layer up and stay at home, binging on Netflix, birds and whales start their annual migration. And if you follow the whales this winter, you will most likely find yourself in the toasty, warm paradise that is Los Cabos. Wondering what you’ll do there? We have you covered! Read on for the best things to do in Cabo in January and December.
December is a Great Time to be Outdoors in Cabo
Desert Adventure in ATV
If you like the thrill of offroading and dirt-racing, Los Cabos can be a dream destination in December. The cool desert weather is great for spending long hours outdoors exploring the terrain, wildlife, and the unique topology of the land. Since there are plenty of ATV tour operators to choose from, be sure to check the reviews before signing up. One of the most promising seems to be Wide Open Baja, with their racing car experience and great reviews.
Soak Up the Winter Sun
Outdoors don’t always have to be about pumping adrenaline and racing-up heart rates. Sometimes all you need is to relax by the pool and soak in the sun, right? Winter in Los Cabos is perfect for getting a tan while chilling by the ocean breeze, and maybe catching up on your reading list. If you have a luxurious getaway in mind, check out these villas with access to the best beach clubs in Cabo, such as the Club 96 beach club and club Espiritu fitness club and spa.
Zipline Through Majestic Views of the Valley
There’s a lot more to Los Cabos than just relaxing on the beach or by the pool. The ziplining adventure in Cabo can offer pristine views, the thrill of flying through the scenic landscapes, and create memories that last a lifetime. Cabo Adventures claim to have the longest and fastest line in Mexico, appropriately named as the ‘Superman’. The best part of the zipline tour is traversing a UNESCO-protected nature zone, through an immersive experience.
Take Art Walks & See Christmas Decorations
The best description of the Los Cabos’ art walk on Tripadvisor has to be “The Grown-up side of Cabo”. Taking place every Thursday, the art walks are a favourite of first-time tourists, as well as returning art lovers. The cool December evenings make them even more rewarding, since you won’t feel the drain of walking or cycling. If you happen to visit close to Christmas, you may even get a chance to see some Christmas decorations, and mingle with the revelers in artsy downtown corners.
Go Running
While vacations are a time to indulge, and to let go of your routine, there are always opportunities for fitness lovers in Los Cabos. December often brings with it running events that offer a healthy way to explore a new city and socialize with fellow runners.
If you’re planning a trip this December, be sure to sign up for the event organized by Destinomagazine. Since the proceeds from the run will be used for Los Cabos Children’s Foundation, this particular run will benefit the soul as much as the body.
Watch Whales in Crystal-Blue Waters
The peak whale-watching season kicks off in December. While it’s possible to see whales before December, the chances improve as winter progresses. If you need help in planning your itinerary for whale-watching, be sure to check out our detailed guide.
Apart from the outdoor activities, December in Los Cabos is full of parties and Christmas revelries, culminating in one of the most exciting New Year’s parties you will ever attend.
Experience the cultural side of Cabo in January
Go for a New Year’s Brunch
If you plan to stay in Cabo after the New Year’s celebrations, a great way to balance the vibrant night of partying is to give yourself a hearty and healthy brunch on the first day of the new year. There are plenty of options to choose from; but if you’re looking for some quiet time away from the hustle bustle of Marina, Flora Farms offers a traditional New Year’s brunch every year. Flora Farms is a favourite destination for tourists interested in fresh-from-the-farm delicacies, so it tends to be booked well in advance. It’s advised to get a reservation as soon as you finish your planning.
Blessing the Furry Friends
Every year January 17th is celebrated with much fanfare in Los Cabos, especially by people with pets. If you are a pet lover, you will definitely enjoy the feast day of San Antonio de Abad, the only day when your furry friends are blessed by the divine. The night before the festival is full of joyous bonfires and culinary delights all through the town. In recent years, it has become very common to see some exotic pets such as snakes and lizards being blessed in Los Cabos, a sight not to be missed for animal lovers.
Enjoy 5 Days of Music in Tropic of Cancer Concert Series
If you have a road trip and some authentic local music in your mind for your Los Cabos trip, then Tropic of Cancer Concert Series is a great opportunity to get both. Held at the charmingly quaint town of Todos Santos, the concert series has a massive lineup of local and nationally touring artists. The event is hosted by rock band Cordovas and presents a unique opportunity to experience the local music scene. A fun fact: The route to Todos Santos has a peculiar pop-culture landmark in the form of ‘Hotel California’. The hotel surprisingly has nothing to do with the chartbuster by Eagles, but it’s visited by tourists nevertheless.
Attend One of Its Kind Superbowl Turn Up
Love SuperBowl, but also want to travel to Los Cabos? You might get the best of both worlds in the Cabo Turn Up’, a one-of-a kind event held at the end of January. From late night parties, to VIP-only dinners, Turn Up’ is the ultimate party event to start 2020 in style.
