Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas is a celebration of color, culture, and eclectic art in life. You can enjoy live music, street artists, vendors, and markets nearly any day of the year. When you visit Cabo, you'll feel the pulse of arts and culture beat through you. Plus, if you're looking for nightlife and want to party, Cabo is where it's at.

While the beaches are nice, they aren't the main draw to the region, and swimming is only allowed in very specific areas due to the dangerous surf conditions. However, you can find plenty of water activities to enjoy, such as boating, parasailing, and you can even board a pirate ship for dinner and a show. In addition, there are plenty of adventures to be had on land with ziplining and even camel rides in the desert.

With a vibrant downtown area hosting an abundance of amazing cuisine, nightlife, and shopping, Puerto Vallarta is also popular for those seeking adventure. Puerto Vallarta is located in one of the most stunning and naturally beautiful settings in the world.

Outside of downtown, you'll find a slower flow in the narrow streets and small cafes of the Romantic Area. You'll also find plenty of beaches sprawling north and south of downtown. Puerto Vallarta is the perfect romantic getaway for weddings and honeymooners, and also perfectly suited for families and seniors. No matter what you're looking for, Puerto Vallarta has it all.

Have you ever wanted to go on a vacation without having to plan it? Would you like to have an adventure with no destination or schedule in mind? Do you love the idea of jumping in the car or getting on a plane and arriving at a destination already planned for you? Spontaneity keeps life refreshing, and this trip adds another element of excitement to your vacation.

Mystery Travel Planner

With Wanderland Escapes, Rebecca takes your trip to the next level and builds memories full of "that was soooo awesome." How does it work? First, you fill out a personalized survey form. This is where you give information about your budget, your days available, your interests, and your bucket list items to help Rebecca create an amazing and one of a kind adventure. Then the planning begins. Every aspect of your trip is kept a surprise until you open the mystery package.

About a week before your departure date, you'll get a list of supplies to pack, and information for what time to be at the car rental company or airport. Open the package, and off you go! Rebecca will pull strings and set up activities for you with her vast network of travel and adventure vendors.

Sometimes, it's a flight to a new state with tickets to see a show or experience a local attraction. Other times, it'll be a relaxing resort adventure with romantic meals and local entertainment. Whatever the adventure, memories will be the thing that lasts the longest. With professional planning resources, you'll get the spontaneous enjoyment of a surprise trip without all the stress of figuring it out on the fly.

Mystery Road Trip

Flying out for a weekend trip isn't the most efficient option for some people. If you don't enjoy flying or only have a weekend to take off, that's totally fine. Mystery road trips are a great way to explore places that are relatively close to home. Depending on the length of time you have to drive into the great wide open, that will determine your destination distance.

You can use your own car or rent one for your mystery road trip. Rebecca works with your interests to find fun activities and stops along the way, tours, or entertainment to fill your road trip with lasting memories.

Mystery Trip Survey

To get the best experience, all you need to do is fill out the survey for your traveling group. In the survey, you'll be asked questions about your budget, timeline, interests, and several other things that will help Rebecca create the perfect mystery trip for you.
