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.
One of the many resorts fronting the beach.
Many water activities.
A shot of the tender as it leaves for the dock.
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.

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?
ReplyDelete@ Nomadic Pinoy - yes the weather/climate is arid, more desertlike. the kind i like, less humidity.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful captures of the place. The rocks jutting out makes a great scene.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteBeing 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.
ReplyDeleteI am in the front seat here.... get on board and let's sail :)
I can´t say anything..I need to close my mouth....full of surprise...
ReplyDeleteYOUR SHOTS ARE WONDERFUL
Those rocks really are dramatic. It's a nice way to enter Cabo...by boat instead of plane!
ReplyDeletegorgeous textures on those rocks!
ReplyDeletei love the rock formation and i love the water.
ReplyDeletereally nice photos! you captured those photos so well. I specifically like Photo #4 and 5.
ReplyDeleteI love the jutting rocks!
ReplyDeleteWow, I bet that was a fabulous cruise, and those rocks? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sceneries indeed. Very nice the third image with the rocks and the people on the beach in the middle.
