💡 Tips
- A rental car is essential as many roads in El Tezal are steep, unpaved, and hilly.
- Use Uber for trips to the Cabo Marina; it is affordable and saves you from difficult parking.
- Avoid the Transpeninsular Highway between 4:30 PM and 6:30 PM due to heavy local traffic.
- Never drink tap water; buy 'Garrafones' (20L jugs) for your home or rental instead.
- Prepare for dust: secondary roads are dirt, so wear closed shoes for neighborhood walks.
