what is the difference between cabo san lucas and puerto vallarta mexico?
we are planning a family trip and want to know which destination is best.
Cabo San Lucas is a small city at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula at 22.88° N 109.90° W, in the municipality of Los Cabos in the state of Baja California Sur, Mexico. As of 2003, the population was some 40,000 people.
Cabo San Lucas is rapidly becoming a high-end holiday destination with a number of resorts and timeshare clubs appearing along the coast between San Lucas and San José del Cabo.
Puerto Vallarta (literally, “Port Vallarta”) is a city in the state of Jalisco, México. It is located at 20°40′N 105°16′W. English language speakers often call the city P.V. for short, due to the difficulty some have in pronouncing the double “L” in “Vallarta.”
The city fronts the Bahía de Banderas on the Pacific Ocean. The city is important primarily as a tourist destination. Shipping traffic consists of cruise ships, arriving almost daily, and occasional visits by U.S. Navy frigates. The Mexican Navy maintains a base at the port. In 2003. Puerto Vallarta reported an estimated population of 165,800 and about 5 million overnight stays by tourists. It is also a popular spring break hotspot.
I have been to both. For family vacation I would prefer Cabo. Both have plenty to do and both are great vacation spots. I would prefer Cabo for family because it has less of a “spring break” atmosphere. Either way you can’t go wrong.
