Easter in Cabo Mexico

My family loves to travel during the holidays and Easter is no exception. Whether it is just the close family or a whole group of family and friends, we like to get out of town and change up the scenery. 

We love everything from great Easter brunches to attending fun cocktail parties and dinners. Easter egg hunt on the beach? Yes, please!!

Traveling to Cabo for Easter can be a great way to celebrate holiday. Expect to find Easter Sunday brunches, Easter egg hunts for the kids and even services at most of the larger resorts in Cabo.  The Easter bunny loves Cabo too! 

This year Easter is April 24th, 2011. Worried it’s too late to plan your perfect Easter Vacation? Here’s some tips on spending this Easter in Cabo.

Easter in Cabo Facts

  • Mexico is a predominately Catholic country so you will find Easter celebrations throughout Los Cabos.
  • Easter is called Pascua. The week before Easter is referred to as Semana Santa (Holy Week). 
  • Most Mexicans get this time off from school or work and like to travel. Expect Cabo to be busy.
