This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from the new Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur. Peter has all the travel updates — from more new airline route announcements for this summer to the latest travel scams. The TSA is working without pay at airports. And a look at a ticketing hack called “nesting.” Does it work? Is it legal? Matt Berna from Intrepid Travel discusses how the U.S. is currently being perceived by foreign travelers and its potential impact on big events like the World Cup. Plus, a deeper dive into Los Cabos. Vinisio Rocha from El Huerto Farm to Table restaurant shares the challenges and successes of his desert farm and a new definition of seasonal vegetables and fruit. Then, a true deep dive with Mike Lever, who runs Nautilus Dive Adventures and Baja Expeditions: How he literally followed legendary author John Steinbeck’s trail through the Sea of Cortez and his mission to conserve marine life in Los Cabos. Francisco Sixtos, Executive Chef of Cocina de Autor at Grand Velas Los Cabos, discusses the diverse menu he offers — and how he sources it — from the rare totoaba fish to the delicate purple sea urchin. And of course, Peter answers your travel questions. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
