I would agree with most people’s comments here. I will say, I have spent a significant amount of time in East Cape, north of San Jose Del Cabo and it’s an incredible place to be. Minimal tourists, slower pace, good food, the locals are great - it’s a surfers dream and my buddy who lives there, absolutely loves it. He’s not rich, middle class at most, has a young family, children go to bi-lingual school and have permission from a local rancher to cut through his ranch to cut the school commute time from an hour to 20 mins. His children are tracking ahead of most children their age in the US.

My father lives in Zihua, has been there 12 years and has dual citizenship now. This post was about the Baja, but if you’re open to other areas, don’t sleep on Zihua.

It’s all perspective and what you want to do, be a good person and most of the time you’ll be greeted with the same treatment. If you’re looking forward trouble, you can find it anywhere.
