I have been living 9 months a year in Cabo since 1995. From my observation and experience, compared to being in most parts of Canada or the USA right now, being in Cabo during this pandemic is one of the safest places health-wise and freedom-wise. We also have plenty of natural Vitamin D as it is sunny almost every day.
Look forward to seeing you soon in the Land of the Sea & Sun!

Also on the flight back home it will be reassuring to know that everyone on the flight also tested negative for COVID-19 so you’ll have no worries and a more relaxed flight home.
