Entering Cabo San Lucas

I am starting a new series - the ports of call of the Mexican Riviera cruise that we took from January 29 to February 5, 2011. For extra read, I have blogged about this here.

Cabo San Lucas was the first of 3 ports of call. We entered with spectacular natural views of what the distinctive rock formation called El Arco (the Arch) where Sea of Cortez meets Pacific Ocean.

On some ports the ship goes all the way to the dock, here we anchored a few feet away and needed to take tender (small boats) to take us to shore. In the time that the ship drops anchor to the time we got into the tender, I spent those precious moments taking photos of everything within my sight and within my zoom's capacity.

The arch. You could take a tour that would take you closer if not go into Land's End.

As the tender was speeding off, I looked back and took a shot of the ship.

Now I'm getting closer to the dock and to seeing Cabo.

  1. I've heard of Cabo San Lucas as a popular beach destination but this is the first time I'm seeing photos of it - it looks less green, perhaps the climate there is more arid?

  2. @ Nomadic Pinoy - yes the weather/climate is arid, more desertlike. the kind i like, less humidity.

  3. Very beautiful captures of the place. The rocks jutting out makes a great scene.

  4. I love the scale of the rocks from the ship and the tiny people on the beach. It IS a place you always hear about, Maria, but don't often see pictures of. This will be a good series.

  5. Being on my first sea voyage ( we did not have entertainment on board, that is why it is no cruise ;) ) in April, I know that you had a great time, love to see the rocks and things passing by.
