Landslides and Floods Affect Northern Los Cabos: What You Need to Know

After the passage of Hurricane Polo, several areas in northern Baja California Sur (BCS) are dealing with the aftermath, including landslides and swollen streams that have restricted travel. As someone who has lived in Los Cabos for the past four years, these events are certainly noteworthy for both residents and digital nomads like myself.

The most affected areas were reported between Ciudad Insurgentes and Loreto, with landslides causing significant disruptions. Travel to Mulegé and San Javier is currently restricted due to swollen streams, making it difficult for locals and visitors alike to navigate the region.

While these events are a reminder of the challenges posed by natural disasters, it’s worth noting that they can be unpredictable. The region is experiencing more rain than usual, with more expected in the coming days. This means that staying informed about local weather conditions and road closures is crucial for everyone in the area.

For digital nomads and expats like myself, these disruptions can impact work and daily routines. If you’re in the northern part of Los Cabos, consider alternative routes if traveling, and keep an eye on local news for updates. Additionally, be prepared for potential changes in plans due to weather conditions.
