The Capes or Los Cabos of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo huddle together on the tip of the Baja Peninsula. This is an extraordinary combination of cactus desert, sugary beaches and chocolate mountains, creating a dramatic vista of true Mexican landscape. San Jose del Cabo

Los Cabos is geographically isolated from mainland Mexico and once used to be a provision stop for pirates; it borrows much of its modernity from the US.

Los Cabos attracts eco-tourists, honeymooners, beach lovers and sports enthusiasts. It offers a variety of sporting opportunities like world class golf, superb fishing, diving, deep sea sport fishing, snorkeling, surfing, windsurfing and game bird hunting. Eco-tourism is a treat, especially whale watching from January to April, and the tours of pre-historic fossil beds. Don’t miss the Estuary of San Jose, Santiago Zoo, Lover’s Beach, El Arco, the ancient Lighthouse at Cabo Falso and Fabrica de Vidrio which is the factory for beautiful made hand-blown glass while you are here.

The Los Cabos International Airport is 11 km north of San Jose. There are vans and taxis that can be hired to get to your desired destination. Getting around in Los Cabos can be done with taxis. You can rent bikes, mopeds or cars too. There is also a water taxi between Médano Beach and the marina nearby.

There are beach front hotels and resorts that provide all the comforts. Most of them have a Mexican décor. The night goes on and on in the fiesta sessions at the bars, nightclubs or on the beach. Head there after dining on spicy Mexican cuisine, Italian pasta and pizza, succulent seafood, Japanese sushi, Spanish and American fare with lots of fiery margaritas topped with a dessert at one of the many restaurants here.

Play your 18 holes, serve aces, game fish for dorado, yellowtail and roosterfish, dive to the only live coral reef on the west coast of North America, snorkel, swim and conquer the waves with windsurfing in Los Cabos.

When shopping you can savour local life in an open air market that sells flowers, fresh fish, clothing or you may visit high price shops selling wood furniture, woven rugs, lamps, ceramics and souvenir accessories.
