What should I see in Mexico when I have only one week to drive around from San Diego?

Question

I'm leaving from San Diego and I have only one week to drive around? I am open to adventure, have been to Burning Man, and have traveled through the Middle East. What do you recommend as MUST SEE things to do, in the week time I have to drive around. Thanks!

Answer 1

Are you talking about Tijuana, MX?

Answer 2

You have to go to Cabo San Lucas, just don't go to Cabo Wabo (it's a lame tourist trap). There's an awesome bar/grill there with a whole Day of the Dead theme going on. It's supposedly a steakhouse, but during the day it had really great lunches and 2 for 1 beers. Cabo has great beaches (avoid the water taxis, they aren't so trustworthy), great shopping, and friendly people.

Answer 3

You don't say when you plan to make this drive. If you planned your trip during carnaval in Mazatlan, I would highly recommend that as a destination. If you are a music fan there is a music festival in Alamos, Sonora which is not so far south. You could also take in Copper Canyon which is close to Alamos. Check The Lonely Planet web site for dates. The road south from Nogales is mostly four lane toll roads. Do not drive at night and try to take a companion with you. Do you speak or read Spanish?
