In Uribia, stop where the Jeeps leave for Cabo de la Vela.
You will have to wait until the Jeep fills up before you leave.

Take advantage of this time to buy big bottles of water. Water is very scarce in Cabo and for ecological reasons we encourage visitors to limit their consumption of plastic bottles.

We advise you arrive early at this point as you will find the Jeep will fill up faster and you will have a relatively comfortable ride.
