Visitors can choose from many forms of ground transportation. Car rentals and leasing are available as well as motorcycles, scooters and mountain bikes. Taxis and buses are inexpensive and plentiful. For a fun way to get around, hop on a water taxi at the marina by Plaza Las Glorias.
Two major highways grace the cape region; Mexico 1, also known as the Transpeninsular, which runs from Cabo San Lucas to Tijuana and Mexico 19 which runs from Cabo San Lucas to San Pedro via Todos Santos.

The peso is the Mexican form of currency. It is suggested that you exchange small amounts of U.S. dollars for pesos. Major credit cards are also widely accepted. A pocket calculator can also be helpful when you shop to help convert U. S. dollars to pesos. Bartering when shopping outside of the resort areas is practiced. U.S. dollars are accepted in the resort areas but keep in mind any change that is due back will be in pesos. One recommendation is to use a credit card which will present the daily currency exchange on your next billing statement.

Divish is the official language. English is also widely spoken in the hotel areas.

Acceptable forms of proof of citizenship for U.S. citizens traveling between the U.S. and our International Destinations are a valid passport, OR a certified , state issued birth certificate with raised seal AND a valid government photo ID, a naturalization/citizenship certificate, Armed Forces' ID or discharge papers stating place of birth. It is the traveler's responsibility to provide proper documentation. Married women traveling with any documentation in their maiden name must supply a marriage license (a copy is acceptable).
