Find Out More About the Area Around Hacienda Palo Blanco

Located on the East Cape of the Baja peninsula, Los Barriles is a scenic one hour drive from the San Jose del Cabo airport and one and a half hours from Cabo San Lucas.

This traditional sleepy Mexican fishing village has a friendly, relaxed vibe and is a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. You can stroll the sandy beaches for miles, snorkel the reefs, or kayak into the sunset. Deep-sea fishermen return year after year as the catch is always good and there are several excellent fishing tour companies and guides in town. If you are more of an extreme thrill-seeker, you can rent an ATV, a mountain bike, or even a horse and go explore the desert. The Buenos Aires and San Bartolo arroyos are favorite destinations for all explorers!

Los Barriles is internationally known as an exceptional windsurfing and kiteboarding location and the famous Lord of the Wind Festival held here every January draws huge crowds.

Los Barriles is also a great town for dining and shopping. If you have a taste for home-cooked Mexican food, there are any number of choices, from local simple taco stands to delicious seafood. And if you’d like a change, try La Casita for sushi, Lighthouse Pizzeria for wood-fired creations, or Tio Pablo’s for American style. You’ll be delighted by the wide selection offering traditional Mexican breakfasts al fresco, lunchtime joints where the locals gather, and formal upscale restaurants where you can celebrate a special occasion in style. And try Chapito’s, the local grocery store stocking most North American favorites, where you can buy the fixings for a great picnic to take to the beach. Several local organic and health food stores provide even healthier options!
