By Land: Driving to Cabo San Lucas, Baja Sur, Mexico… While the majority of visitors to Cabo San Lucas arrive by airplane or boat, there are travelers who choose to make the journey to the tip of the peninsula by road. Just over 1,000 miles from the US border, the road trip to Cabo San Lucas can be the experience of a lifetime. The Transpeninsular Highway or Mexico 1 was completed in 1973. The two lane (one lane in each direction) highway was designed to accommodate two passing semi-trucks heading in opposite directions. Today, the highway remains the same width, and for most of the journey there is little to no shoulder. Although thousands of tourists safely make the Transpeninsular trip with their RVs or full size trucks towing large 5th wheel trailers, you will need to be incredibly cautious if you plan to make the drive. The speed limit for most of the two lane portions of Mexico 1 is just under 50 mph (80 kilometers per hour), and it is highly recommended that you do not exceed this speed. Mexico 1 is about as dangerous as it is beautiful, so don't plan on setting any speed records. It is also strongly recommended that you break up the 1,000 mile trip into at least three days of travel and not drive along the Transpeninsular Highway at night.
