This is a story about going to Baja and bypassing Cabo San Lucas completely. It all started with a trip to Cabo and a 3 night stay at the super luxurious Las Ventanas . Las Ventanas was for 3 nights so we decided to combine it with something else in the Baja. Shortly after we booked our trip, the hurricane blew in devastating the area and destroying Las Ventanas. So, we changed our reservations to mid-April which is when we were told the hotel would reopen. April turned into a reopening in July but July is not a good time to go to Baja and since we’d already changed our flights once we decided to look for something to combine with the other destination that we’d booked…Rancho Pescadero in Pescadero, a few miles south of Todos Santos.
After doing some research on I-Escape, which I highly recommend, we came upon a small luxury eco-inn called Villa del Faro, on the Sea of Cortez, the East Cape. It sounded great. One hour on a dirt road, watch out for cows and goats, turn left at the basketball court. Could been fun. But the piece de resistence at Villa del Faro was something called “The Stone Cottage”. A thatched roof cottage on the beach that had solar powered electricity, an outdoor shower and bano, fire pit and grill for cooking. Sounded good and very adventurous, so we booked it.
