The resort cities of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, together known as "The Capes" or Los Cabos in Spanish, are located at the very tip of the Baja California Peninsula. Of the two, Cabo San Lucas is the better known and the more visited destination.

Cabo San Lucas is different in many ways from other "Mexican Riviera" counterparts along the Pacific coast. Because of its geographical separation and isolation from mainland Mexico, the Cabo tourism industry has developed closer ties with the U.S. (mostly the west coast) than to the rest of Mexico. A conspicuous "north-of-the-border" atmosphere and attitude give the area an appealing cultural duality. Although, there's no denying the resort's strong "Mexico-by-the-sea" atmosphere.

Cabo San Lucas is also unique in it striking desert landscape, dry climate, and great outdoors unspoiled beauty. Visitors are surrounded by a dramatic backdrop of endless cactus desert, cinnamon-colored mountains, and miles of white sandy beaches and clear, azure waters.

Los Cabos is one of Mexico's largest destinations in terms of its layout. Basically there are three areas included in the resort. Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo anchor the area's resort strip. The two towns are separated by the Corridor, a 29 km. stretch of lovely beaches sprinkled with much of the area's new resort development.

Once used as a frequent provision stop for pirates awaiting passage of the Manila Galleons, today Cabo San Lucas is one of Mexico's top resorts, with some of Mexico's finest hotels. In the last 20 years, it has evolved from a sleepy hideaway for fisherman and yacht owners into one of Mexico's most popular resort destinations, with exclusive homes and mansions, wide selection of hotels, and world class dining.

Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas, at the tip of the Baja peninsula, is a boom town which has emerged in the last few years. Some dusty streets still prevail, but don't let that fool you. This is the town most people think of when they think of Los Cabos or "Cabo".

Cabo boast some fine restaurants, sophisticated shopping, a large marina, and a very active nightlife. Cabo is tops with fisherman, divers, and those wanting to enjoy the resort life. Nearby Medano Beach is a heavenly stretch of calm, crystal clear water, and white sand beach. Just off shore is Los Arcos - the area's signature landmark, and one of the world's most awesome natural wonders.

San Jose del Cabo
San Jose del Cabo is a pleasant city of meandering streets and lush palm groves, with the languid pace of a Mexican colonial village. The area was first visited by Cortes himself in 1535 and served as a mission stop for centuries.

Today it is a town of 30,000 people and is the seat of the municipal government. The town has charming courtyard restaurants, small shops and boutiques, small hotels and a lovely tropical estuary, Estero San Jose. The atmosphere here is subdued compared to the more rowdy and nightlife-orientated town of Cabo San Lucas.

The Corridor
Between these two towns is The Corridor, the site of most new resort development and most of the golf courses, not to mention some of Baja's most beautiful beaches and coves. Most of the hotels here offer a more "exclusive" feeling than in the towns at either end of Los Cabos.

Today, Los Cabos attracts a broader range of visitors than ever before, and has gone to great lengths to diversify its offering of activities and attractions. Los Cabos, including the East Cape and Todos Santos areas, continues to attract sportsmen who flock here for world-famous fishing, outstanding diving & surfing, world class wind surfing, and game bird hunting.

The area also draws beach lovers, golfers, honeymooners, families, and "eco-tourists". Of course, most visitors ultimately come here for Cabo's famous sun and sea.
