Ear Plugs

I would leave this post as is, but I know some people will take it the wrong way. The sound doesn’t disappear, it just goes from AC/DC to Mozart. Here’s two examples: at night when they’re sick, and when you’re driving. I recommend keeping a stash of earplugs in your nightstand and both your cars.

As we sat in the hottub of our Cabo San Lucas hotel, my wife and I heard a rumor of a beautiful waterfall (cascada) where you could cliff-jump and swim. I asked some locals how to find it. Many had never even heard of it, and the few details I obtained of the fabled Cabo Waterfall were vague. I was even more frustrated when google.com showed beautiful pictures and videos of the waterfall, but no instructions on how to get there.  So for anyone in Cabo trying to find this place, this post is for you.

Instructions and Maps for Finding the Cabo Waterfall

It’s called Cascada Sol del Mayo (Sun of May Waterfall). It’s about 1hr 15 min north of Cabo and resides just west of the small Oasis/City of Santiago in the “Cañon de la Zorra”. If you’ve already seen Lover’s Beach in a glass bottom boat, and you’re looking for some adventure, this desert paradise is worth the trip.

1) Everyone in Cabo should know how to find the airport (unless you’re crazy and drove from the US)

a. Head east along the coast toward SanJose del Cabo

b. I would recommend taking the toll road North to the airport.

2) Once at the Airport, continue heading north on Highway 1 for about 45-60 minutes to Santiago

3) Take the Santiago exit and head west toward Santiago

4) Take a right on the road just before the town square

5) At the end of that road, it turns to dirt, and there will be signs that direct you all the way to Cascada Sol del Mayo

6) You know you’ve arrived when there is a ghetto toll booth where a kid who can’t speak English asks for 60 pesos ($6).

7) Continue until the parking lot, and try to park in some shade.

Follow trail for about 20 minutes, and descend toward waterfall using provided ropes.
