Los Cabos

Los Cabos is the name of the municipality at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, in the state of Baja California Sur. It comprises two towns linked by a roughly 30 km highway called the Tourist Corridor: San José del Cabo, the old town with the airport, and Cabo San Lucas, the port and marina next to the stone arch that marks the peninsula’s end.

The landscape is desert meeting the sea: dry mountains, cacti and light-sand beaches. On the Gulf of California side, also called the Sea of Cortez, the waters are calmer and there are coves good for swimming and snorkeling, such as Chileno and Santa María. On the Pacific side, the sea usually has strong waves and currents, and the beaches are for walking and watching the sunset.

From December to April, humpback whales often pass along the coast, and boat tours depart from Cabo San Lucas and San José. To the north, about an hour away, Todos Santos is a village of old houses on the Tropic of Cancer with surf beaches. To the east, Cabo Pulmo National Park protects a coral reef in the Gulf.

The climate is dry most of the year and the sun is strong. In resorts and marinas English is widely used.

This destination brings together 3 cities: San José del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas, Todos Santos.
