san diego, california

Departure: 16:00

San Diego, California, is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the United States and, arguably, one of the most beautiful. The whitewashed stucco buildings give a Mediterranean-style flavour to the architecture while the culture has a decidedly Mexican influence to it. Despite this foreign-country look and feel, the city of San Diego is uniquely American and a truly memorable place to visit. Mission Beach, one of the city’s most iconic spots, is perfect for surfing and relaxation. Balboa Park is one of the greatest urban parks of the world. With museums and gardens inside the park, you can spend days there. The grand houses of the Coronado district exude luxury and ate an historic national landmark. San Diego’s Old Town recreates traditional life from the past. Many fascinating buildings and artefacts bring the history alive in this area of the city. Everywhere there are blossoming flowers and spouting fountains and the magnificence of this colourful garden city makes it easy to forget the arid terrain of the nearby desert. With its many attractions and close proximity to Mexico, San Diego is an unforgettable city that's a very special kind of tourist metropolis.

Day 3

cabo san lucas, mexico

Arrival: 10:00 - Departure: 16:00

Los Cabos, at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, is where desert, mountains, and the Pacific Ocean meet in dramatic fashion. The region is anchored by two main towns: lively Cabo San Lucas, famous for its nightlife and marina, and the more laid‑back San José del Cabo, known for colonial architecture and art galleries. Between them stretches the “Tourist Corridor,” a scenic coastal highway lined with luxury resorts, golf courses, and pristine beaches. Most visitors are drawn to the sea. Boat tours take you past the iconic El Arco rock formation at Land’s End, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific, and offer chances to spot sea lions, dolphins, and in season, migrating humpback and gray whales. Snorkeling and diving reveal colorful reefs and abundant marine life at spots like Santa Maria Bay and Chileno Bay, while adventurers can try deep‑sea fishing, surfing, kitesurfing, or stand‑up paddleboarding. On land, Los Cabos offers a surprising variety of landscapes and activities. You can ride camels or ATVs through cactus‑studded desert, zip‑line across canyons, or hike in the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with freshwater pools and oak forests. Several world‑class golf courses overlook the ocean, and horseback rides at sunset along the beach are a romantic favorite. Food and culture add another layer to the experience. Los Cabos blends traditional Mexican flavors with fresh seafood and sophisticated coastal cuisine, from street‑side tacos al pastor to upscale farm‑to‑table restaurants in the nearby village of El Pescadero. Evenings can be spent bar‑hopping around Cabo San Lucas’s marina, enjoying live music and beach clubs, or strolling the Art Walk in San José del Cabo’s historic center, where galleries, boutiques, and cafés stay open late.

Day 16

miami, florida

Arrival: 07:00

Miami Beach is everything you've heard about, but you have to see it for yourself. Take an Art Deco tour of Miami Beach to fully appreciate the area's signature architecture. The South Beach Art Deco District is a whimsical collection of more than 800 architecturally protected buildings in Miami Beach from the 1930s and 1940s – a definite must-see. Stay in one of its boutique or throwback hotels – you'll also find some of Miami Beach's finest dining, nightlife and spas here. North Beach's Ocean Terrace is fast becoming a smaller version of South Beach, with inviting oceanfront hotels and cafés. Regardless, be sure to go for a beachside stroll or to Haulover Park for fishing, bike rides, tennis or golf. And, of course, Miami Beach’s nightlife always concludes an unforgettable vacation day.
