Destination: Cabo San Lucas

Los Cabos (The Capes) is one of Mexico’s most beautiful and exclusive destinations. It lies on the southernmost tip of the Baja California Peninsula, 136 miles south of La Paz. The climate is warm throughout most of the year, with an average temperature of 79º F.   

Cabo San Lucas is home to El Arco (the arch), a modern marina, and Medano Beach — the bustling center of fun. Los Cabos is the perfect spot to enjoy a romantic getaway as you gaze out onto El Arco at Lover’s Beach, a rocky arch formation considered a landmark of this destination. Los Cabos unites the waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. 

An 18 mile highway, called the Corredor Turistico, stretches from Cabo San Lucas to colonial San Jose del Cabo. Along the highway, you’ll find world-class hotels with top-notch restaurants, which have been known to lure a fair share of celebrities.  

Further northeast along the Sea of Cortez, you’ll find white sand beaches, jewel-toned bays, sun-swept shores, fantastic snorkel sites, and the only living coral reef on Mexico’s Northwestern Pacific coast at Cabo Pulmo.  

Los Cabos is an unforgettable experience thanks to its championship golf courses, excellent sport fishing, and gorgeous beaches.
