The historic-centre road return to the actual landing
Gallery browsing and corridor traffic can absorb the margin. Fix a city departure before starting and treat the transfer as part of the outing, even when the destination name suggests arrival in town.
Getting from the ship
To Historic plaza and gallery district
First connection
Confirm whether the ship lands locally or requires a road transfer from another Los Cabos arrival point. Reserve both directions to the historic centre and specify the return landing. Check individual gallery hours separately from evening Art Walk publicity.

Exploring San José del Cabo, Mexico
Simplest approach
Explore a short historic-plaza and gallery-district loop, selecting currently open venues and a shaded break. Use the same planned vehicle for the return. Include a scheduled Art Walk only if its actual timing fits all-aboard; avoid adding Cabo San Lucas or Todos Santos afterwards.

Practical notes
Accessibility
Check vehicle boarding, historic paving and gallery entrances. Choose a short shaded loop with the pickup close to the final stop. An accessible road transfer does not establish step-free access to every shop.
Weather
Heat, humidity and heavy rain can slow walking and road travel. Plan water and shaded breaks, and shorten optional stops when conditions narrow the return margin.
