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.
To fly from La Paz to Loreto, there is a daily
flight on Aero Litoral ( a small branch of AeroMexico
800 237-6639) The small carrier usually has
space available.
From San Diego by bus
Take the downtown trolley to the Tijuana border.
Walk across the border, and get your tourist
card stamped at the immigration office at the
entrance area.They can issue you a card and
the necessary form to make a bank payment. Cost
is about $20 US. When the payment is made (there
is a small bank branch at the border where you
can pay) you can either return to the border
office or continue on and have the card stamped
at the nearest next Immigration check point,
which might be at Guerrero Negro state line
dividing Baja Norte from Baja Sur, or in Loreto.
Get your card stamped within 72 hours of border
crossing if possible.The same tourist card process
is applicable if driving.
If Busing - Take a taxi from the border to
the Terminal Central de Autobus located east
of the city in the La Mesa area, not downtown.

$120 US to Loreto.
