Los Cabos in March
When to go
March falls inside the December-through-April whale-watching season that the Los Cabos Tourism Board describes, and the long-term averages the WMO passes along from Mexico's weather service show very little rain for the month. Mexico's school calendar sets a recess that starts in the last part of March and runs into early April, so compare your dates against it. Federal law also sets the third Monday of March as a mandatory rest day, and the tourism board lists a culinary festival in Miraflores in the middle of the month, so check opening hours and event dates before you settle on a plan.
