At the southern-most tip of the Baja California peninsula, where the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez collide with the wild Pacific, Los Cabos is an area of striking beauty and one of Mexico's top holiday resorts destinations. Surrounded by a vast cactus desert and ochre-coloured mountains, the azure waters offer diving, sailing and swimming, and the area is a world-renowned Mecca for sport fishing and surfing. Los Cabos is an area made up of the two resort towns of San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, sitting at either end of an 18-mile (29km) stretch of exquisite beaches sprinkled with exclusive luxury holiday resorts and championship golf courses, known locally as the Resort Corridor. San José del Cabo is the older and more traditional of the two resorts with the unhurried pace of a colonial Mexican village. Cabo San Lucas started as a simple fishing village and is now one of the favourite beach holiday destinations of the elite, international tourist offering high quality services and an energetic nightlife. The majority of visitors base themselves in San Lucas or the Resort Corridor. Just offshore is the area's landmark and an impressive natural wonder, Los Arcos (The Arches), a wave-sculpted rock formation.
Activities
Los Cabos has become one of the leading golfing holiday destinations in Mexico, featuring five championship courses and a wonderful setting. Los Cabos is also known as the Marlin Capital of the world, and is a fishing Mecca for most of the year. Divers are not disappointed with the abundance of marine life promised to them, and whale watching tours operate between January and April. Watersport operators and hotels also offer sailing, windsurfing, surfing, water-skiing, and kayaking, as well as sunset cruises, snorkel tours, and excursions to the natural rock formation known as El Arco. Other activities include horse-riding, bird watching, and spa facilities that offer fitness and pampering opportunities.
