Ambulantes in Los Cabos Protest Against Harassment and Demand Unrestricted Work

Local street vendors in Los Cabos are facing significant challenges as they continue to be harassed and are demanding the right to work freely in the Marina district. This issue has garnered attention due to its impact on the local economy and the livelihoods of many expats and digital nomads who rely on the area's atmosphere and tourist influx.

The ambulantes, or informal vendors, have been vocal about their struggles, citing daily harassment from authorities, which has led to a decrease in their ability to earn a living. This situation is particularly concerning for those residing in or visiting Los Cabos, as the market at the Marina is a key attraction for both residents and tourists.

Residents have expressed their frustration through social media, drawing attention to the need for better communication and support from the local government. Mayor José Sánchez Chávez stated, 'We need to ensure that our vendors are respected and allowed to work in a safe and fair environment.' His comments reflect the growing pressure on the city to address the ongoing issues faced by these vendors.
