LOS CABOS IN BAJA CALIFORNIA - MEXICO

Los Cabos encompasses several little towns; San José del Cabo (Main municipality), Cabo San Lucas (Also known as “Cabo”), Cabo del Este (All the little villages on the east side), among others. 

Most-do

The Arch
At Cabo San Lucas there is a famous rock formation called “The Arch”, this place is also well known as the land’s end, the last rocks of the Baja Peninsula, the furthest you can go from the border to the south in the Baja peninsula, 1200 miles away from San Diego and the place where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortes.
The arch
They provide some glass bottom boats to visit these formations, a very comfortable trip on the water. During the trip you will see the sea lion colony and the pelican rocks.

Marine & Coastal Fauna
For fishing, snorkeling or scuba diving lovers, it is known as the richest sea in the world, because of its abundance of marine and coastal fauna, for nothing this destination is know as “The marlin capital of the world”. Jacques Costeau made an awesome discovery, a cascading fall of sand on a wall dropping 1,200 feet, definitely a most do for divers.
Pelicans
Go Off-Road
There is no excuse to stay in the road in Los Cabos, there are several activities to do, ATV’s are the most common and popular here, but for those looking for more adrenaline, you should try the Baja Bora Tours or the WideOpen tours, can’t tell you more, you need to see it yourself.

Nature
From January to March (The only season) you can enjoy a whale watching tour at several boat options, visit the activities area for cruises. Also between July and November there are turtle release programs, a very satisfactory experience.
