Question Hi there
I work at a travel agency in Alberta, Canada and we have clients that want to take a bus from Cabos to La Paz and then a ferry to Mazatlan. Can you please advise me of where I would go to get this info, Prices, where to book, ... Thanks
Answer I am not real familier with bus schedules, etc. The best advice I can give to you is to just check the internet.
Here is a little bit that I have found about ferry's:
When you arrive in Cabo, go to the right after exiting Customs and go to the shuttles/taxis. They look like orange and red vans. Tell them you want to go to the San Jose del Cabo Aguila Bus station. This costs 8 USD per person, you can haggle when they say it's 10. For example say "last time I only paid 8" or something like that.
When you get to the bus station go inside and ask for tickets to La Paz. They're 140 pesos per person, last time I rode the bus which was two weeks ago. The bus will take you to the newly completed bus station right on the Malecon in downtown La Paz. From there you can walk or take a taxi to your hotel.
The bus is nice because you can look out the window and really enjoy it instead of slamming on the brakes around a curva peligrosa (dangerous curve!).
Also remember that if you're driving to La Paz on the day you arrive, make sure that your flight comes in early because you do not want to drive at night and the bus does not run after 6pm.
