Southern Baja--Cabo San Lucas and Santiago

Today I entered the Tropic of Cancer and showered in a waterfall. The mountain region surrounding the town of Santiago offer warm crystal clear streams, waterfalls, incredible trees, and an abundance of animals. One deserted location boasted a giant acacia tree, massive boulders, and a clear stream with a soft sandy bottom. This was the site of my first amazing waterfall shower.

The small village of Cabo Pulmo boasts western North America’s only living coral reef and it’s paradise for divers, snorkelers, and anglers. After camping on the beach I went snorkeling in the clear Sea of Cortez.

The internationally acclaimed resort town of Cabo San Lucas is a loud, ostentatious, glittering distant relative of every other town in Baja. Yacht clubs, spring breakers, gringo tourists, chain restaurants, Wal Marts, jet skis, and high rise hotels intermingle with a gorgeous coastline where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez meet.
