WHY CABO?
WHY CABO?
If
you are looking for a winter destination for vacation, retirement or a second
home, try Cabo. You ask yourself Why
Cabo? This is why.
Cabo
San Lucas is considered, by many, to have the perfect climate. Plan a picnic most any day because Cabo San
Lucas enjoys more than 300 sunny days a year and average temperatures of 82
degrees Fahrenheit. During summer
months, the temperature can reach into the 90s but low humidity and ocean
breezes keep things comfortable.
One
can generally count on a dry and sunny climate in Cabo San Lucas throughout the
year. However, conditions may vary
depending on location, time of day and nearness to the ocean. On the Pacific Ocean side of Los Cabos you
will generally find temperatures 10 degrees cooler than downtown Cabo San Lucas
and the marina area
San
Jose del Cabo on the Sea of Cortez, just 26 miles from Cabo San Lucas, on the
tip of Baja California Sur, is often several degrees warmer.
Spring
is the driest season with little or no rain from March through June. Winter blends gradually into spring and thus
into summer. One of the best times in
Cabo can be the months of May and June and first part of July. These months are sometimes known as the
Secret Season in Cabo.
The
idea of Cabo San Lucas attracts you but there is hesitation because of all the horror
stories you are hearing about Mexico.
What you are reading about is happening in Cd. Juarez, Tijuana and
Nogales. The violence is in the border
towns not in the resort areas like Cabo San Lucas. There may be no place safer on earth than Los
Cabos.
When
you look at the statistics and not the hype you realize that Cabo San Lucas may
be truly the place you want to vacation or retire to.
In
a recent article published my Christopher Reynolds of the L.A. Times, drug
related killings for all of the state Baja California Sur, not just Los Cabos,
reached a big 6 for the entire first half of 2010. That figure breaks down to 1.06 per 100,000
inhabitants.
That
sounds like a lot, you say. But just
compare it to the statistics from the countries considered the safest around
the world.
Canada
= 1.7 per 100,000
Peru=
3.2 per 100,000
Argentina
= 5.2 per 100,000
USA
= 5.2 per 100,000
Uruguay
= 5.8 per 100,000
Chile
= 8.1 per 100,000
And
the rest of the world just gets worse.
Yes,
Cabo is where you want to talk to Los Cabos Real Estate about guaranteeing your
place in this safe environment with the perfect climate.
The
door will open on your airplane and you will prepare to descend the steps to
the tarmac when you arrive in Los Cabos.
You step out the door and stop.
The sweet soft air of Cabo engulfs you.
Is it the smell of cactus blooming?
Is it the lack of any pollution?
No matter, you know you have arrived in this paradise we call Los Cabos.
