The resort town of Cabo San Lucas is right on the edge of the long Baja California Peninsula, a place known as Land's End. Simply called Cabo by the locals, this destination was made famous for it's world-class big game sport fishing. Now much more than a fishing village, Cabo is the heart of the action with many popular nightclubs, restaurants, shops, land activities, diving, and of course the famous natural stone arch just off Lover's Beach.
 The quieter and more typically Mexican town of San Jose del Cabo is just east of Cabo. Its Spanish colonial streets are lined with cafes, shops and small restaurants, all just a short stroll from the traditional downtown main square. Explore its historic Mexican charm.
Known as The Corridor, or El Corredor Turistico, the four-lane highway that connects Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo is home to many beaches and coves, as well as a variety of first-class hotels, resorts and golf courses. You'll find yourself stopping again and again along the way.The towns help form the southernmost tip of the Baja California Sur, a region that has developed a character all its own from being across the Sea of Cortes from the rest of Mexico. Adventure travelers will certainly find a home here with the rugged natural wilderness providing ample opportunities to hike or take a four-wheel drive vehicle into the rugged hills and desert. It is a land that is truly untouched. There are also plenty of villages and towns to explore. |
| In the very south of the Baja California Peninsula is the region known as East Cape, home to some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere. Renowned for Cabo Pulmo, a marine park that is the site of the only living coral reef on the western side of the continent, this area is rapidly becoming popular amongst surfers and sea kayakers. The beaches are wide and seemingly endless, the traditional village remains virtually unchanged by modern development, despite its proximity to bustling Los Cabos. A visit to the town and park is a great way to experience the mysteries of unspoiled Mexico. |
| The rusty remains of a Japanese freighter and the old lighthouse make this sheltered beach an interesting diversion. It's perfect for strolling, beachcombing, and swimming, all away from the bustle of more trafficked beaches. Just look for the exit sign near KM 9 off the main highway, and follow the dirt road down to the water. |
| This pleasant beach about 45 miles from San Jose del Cabo is famed for being the rooster fish capital of the world. Since the 1950's this are has been the destination of choice for sport fishermen. A little beyond it is great swimming at the beach at La Playita, where you can watch the Panga Fishing Fleet bring in their catch. |
| The fact this entire area was underwater in centuries past is never more evident than in the striking marine fossils dotting the desert around historic Santiago, less than an hour north of Los Cabos. Fabulous hiking trails and places to explore abound in this area. Natural hot springs give extra appeal to this quaint oasis. Santiago also has the only zoo in the region. |
| Just two hours north of Los Cabos, the capital of the state of Baja California Sur is an easy trip well worth the effort. The tranquil port of La Paz, which means peace in English, lives up to its name with a leisurely pace and friendly people. The palm-lined waterfront seawalk is the center of attractions, offering bars, restaurants and ample opportunities to stroll or people-watch. The colonial-style architecture includes a La Paz Cathedral in the downtown area that is nearly 300 years old. The town was once a haven for marauding pirates; the Anthropology Museum details the fascinating history of the area. Spectacular sunsets over the bay are not to be missed. More about la Paz... |
| The Jesuit mission town of Todos Santos is now home to artists from near and far, some of whom open their studios to visitors. The effect is a special charm to this thriving colony that once was a center for sugar cane and mangos. Visitors come for the beautiful scenery, fishing, fresh fruit, and hand-made arts and crafts. |
