Things to do in Los Cabos

A beautiful contrast of desert and ocean, the region of Mexico known as Los Cabos is located at the tip of the Baja California peninsula. This region consists of two towns, Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, which are divided by a 20-mile strip known as “The Corridor.”

The landscape of Los Cabos is stark and dramatic. The convergence of the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Cortez surrounds a dry finger of land where trees are rare but cacti are common. El Arco, Los Cabos’s most famous landmark, is a striking arch that has been carved from rock by centuries of pounding waves.

The Los Cabos region and Cabo San Lucas have become one of Mexico’s most elite resort destinations. Though legendary for what lurks beneath the deep blue sea, Cabo San Lucas now draws more people for its rich fairways and greens – and the world-class golf played on them. The hundreds of new luxury hotel rooms being added in this area cater to both travelers away for a long weekend or those seeking a pampered stay filled with sports and relaxation.

In Los Cabos, the fun doesn’t end when the sun goes down. Cabo San Lucas is still the playful party scene that helped put the area on the map, and the nightlife here is as hot as the desert in July. A collection of popular restaurants and bars, spread along Cabo’s main street, stay open and active until the morning’s first fishing charter trips headed out to sea. Despite the growth in diversions, Cabo remains more or less a “one stoplight” town, with almost everything located along the main strip, within easy walking distance.
