The day opens with the road unfurling toward the Sea of Cortez: a ribbon of asphalt between the Baja desert and the Sierra de la Laguna, sunlight striking the scrub and distant peaks. Travelers leave San José del Cabo early for a roughly 150 km drive that alternates wide coastal views, ochre desert, and the slow, weathered silhouettes of mining towns.
