More Travel Information
From San Jose del Cabo by bus (Los
Cabos)
Take a transport service to the bus terminal
in Cabo San Lucas. Buses leave every one to
two hours to La Paz during the day. Overnight
in La Paz (Hotel Lorimar approx $45 per night;
Los Arcos $95 per night double) or continue
from the La Paz terminal on to Loreto. Buses
leave for north 3-4 times daily. Ask for current
schedule of La Paz / Loreto departures at the
Cabo terminal and see if they can reserve you
a space if you wish to continue on without overnighting
in La Paz. Taxi or walking from La Paz bus terminal
to hotels is easy.
Once in Loreto take a taxi or walk to a local
hotel (see list on web at TourBaja.com/hotels,
or in your trip confirmation packet) or, to
the listed hotel where we have rooms reserved
prior to the tour. Travel time by bus is about
2-3 hours from Los Cabos to La Paz, and 4-5
hours from La Paz to Loreto. Bus fare La Paz
- Loreto is about $35, and approx $15 from Cabo.
For car rentals from Los Cabos or La Paz see
if you can arrange for a drop-off rental with
Budget, Hertz, or Eurocar, the agencies currently
in Loreto. It’s usually not cost effective
for just one person, but a great way to stop
and see some country along the way.
Other options for travel to Loreto may be - fly to
Los Cabos (SJD), Baja, Mexico and drive or bus up (7
hours driving time) or fly to Loreto from Cabo San Lucas
on Aereo Calafia. Fly to La Paz (LAP), Baja, Mexico and
drive or fly up on Aereo Calafia.com.mx. Driving from La
Paz to Loreto is approximately 5 hours. And, if you have

and enjoy the many desert ecosystems along the way.
