Do you reccommend the road trip from san diego to Cabo San Lucas?

Question

The purpose is just to go on a different road trip. take pictures meet and greet new people. I just want to be sure that I will be safe and that it wouldnt be too much stress. it is suppose to be a something I will do while on vacation

Answer 1

sure why not.   what are you going to do along the way, what time of year, how much time do you have, do you have a budget

Answer 2

Hola.  I'm a canadian living in cabo and I have personally made that trip hundreds of times over the past 30 years.  I would recommend it.  It's very scenic and interesting.  

I do however, have some warnings that basically come with common sense.  

Don't drive at night

Don't go off the beaten track and camp by yourself in an isolated area

Don't assume the next gas station has gas

Don't go anywhere without water for you and your car

Don't stop to help anyone....unless you feel very good about it.  There is a gov't service that drive tow truck up an down the baja and help stranded motorists for free.  They will help them.

Stop at all federal checkpoints and surrender fruits and items not allowed.  Firearms and drugs are strictly prohibited in mexico and searches of vehicles happen often at these checkpoints.  

Be friendly and courteous to all.  You are in their country.  Try out spanish.  Most can figure out what you want with only a few verbs.  

Bring extra supplies.  Fan belts, gas, tires etc.

Have a lovely trip!
