Southern Baja · Mexico
Where to stay near Todos Santos: El Pescadero, the coast and the desert.
Southern Baja isn't one kind of trip. You can plan days around the energy of Cabo, the shops and restaurants of Todos Santos, or the quieter pace of El Pescadero. Here's how to choose the right base.
What is El Pescadero like?
El Pescadero is a community on the Pacific side of Baja California Sur, south of Todos Santos. The setting brings together agricultural land, open desert, and proximity to the coast. It is a good fit for travelers who want room to slow down, rather than a full-service resort district outside their door.
El Perdido is based here: a seven-room boutique desert hotel with an on-property restaurant, El Coyote. Its smaller scale suits travelers who prioritize atmosphere and privacy over a large resort's activity schedule.
El Pescadero vs. Todos Santos vs. Cabo
Choose El Pescadero when the appeal is a quieter stay with desert surroundings and time to explore the Pacific coast at your own pace.
Choose Todos Santos if you want to spend much of your stay walking between galleries, shops, and restaurants in town. El Perdido's existing local guide estimates Todos Santos at about a 20-minute drive; times vary with traffic and route.
Choose Cabo San Lucas if nightlife, marina activities, and large resort amenities are the center of your plans. You can still visit Cabo from the Pacific side, but driving should be part of the itinerary.
Who is a boutique desert stay best for?
Consider El Pescadero for a couples' getaway, a quiet few days between busier parts of a Baja trip, or time focused on food, design, and the surrounding landscape. If you need an extensive resort entertainment program or want to walk to Cabo nightlife, a different location may suit you better.
