TRAVEL DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

As of January 23rd, 2007 the only acceptable document to travel to Mexico is a passport. The airlines will provide you with the form for a Tourist Card, which you will fill out on the airplane and show when you go through customs at your entry point in Mexico. This Tourist Card is good for six months. Minors under the age of 18—who are not traveling with both parents—will need a notarized affidavit from the missing parent (s)giving permission for them to travel to Mexico. The airlines can help you with this.

AIRLINE SERVICE

The easiest way to get to Hotel Buena Vista is by air. It's only a short two-hour flight from San Diego, Los Angeles or Phoenix to Los Cabos, and the Los Cabos International Airport is only 35 miles away from us.
