Los Cabos, Mexico
Located at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos is actually two towns. San Jose del Cabo, a 200-year-old town, provides visitors with a look at traditional Old Mexico, and Cabo San Lucas is modern and bustles with activity day and night. The two towns are connected by a resort area known as The Corridor, where some of the Baja's most beautiful beaches are located.

Los Cabos, Mexico
The Rugged Haven At the very end of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez meet, is a unique Mexican beach resort -- Los Cabos, consisting of two towns: San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. San Jose, a 200-year-old town with low-lying houses, central plaza, and sedate setting, is more traditional and "old" Mexico. Cabo San Lucas, in comparison, is modern, with plenty of shopping and bustling activity day and night. Almost everything in Los Cabos involves natural beauty. There are isolated beaches, desert landscapes, unique rock formations, and scenic bluffs. Sporting opportunities include deep-sea fishing, fascinating dive sites. Over the last few years, Los Cabos has become a world-class golf destination. The Senior Professional Tour now has the Los Cabos Senior Slam as part of its regular tour. With five beautiful golf courses within a 20-mile span of oceanfront landscape, it's easy to see why every year more and more golfers come to Los Cabos to play these professionally designed courses. What to Do Stroll on the beach and take in the scenery. From January through April, you could catch sight of hundreds of whales. Anglers should plan one or more days fishing, since Los Cabos is known for being a natural "fish trap," and for its variety of fish. Dining and Entertainment Lucky at sea? Some restaurants will prepare your day's catch, and serve it with rice and vegetables. Other fresh catches will be prepared, as seafood tops the menus in most Baja restaurants. For a different type of evening, try a Mexican fiesta -- including a lavish buffet, folk dances, and more. Package Includes:- Choice of accommodations
- Roundtrip transfers between airport and hotel
- Luggage handling at hotel
- Maid and bellman gratuities
- Assistance of a local host

How do I get around town?
Transfers

Taxi
The fare from the airport to San José del Cabo area hotels is approximately $15 each way. The fare from the airport to the Corridor or Cabo San Lucas area hotels is approximately $40 each way. The fare from the Corridor to Cabo San Lucas is approximately $20 each way.
Walking
Footpower is the locally preferred mode of transport around San José del Cabo, due to the town’s small dimensions and the relatively short walk (30 minutes) between Plaza Mijares and the hotel zone. If you’re heading out of town to one of the nearby beaches, you’ll need to choose between catching a bus or taxi.
Car
With a growing population, the streets of Cabo San Lucas are often packed with cars and parking can be difficult. There is a free public car park at the southern end of Blvd Marina, where you can leave your car and explore the city on foot. A rental car is a good idea for regional excursions and/or day trip travel.
Bus
Buses run between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas for approximately $1.50 per person.
What kinds of dining and nightlife are available?
Dining in Los Cabos tends to be a bit more expensive compared to other Mexican destinations as they must import almost all of their food, except seafood. For a great dining experience, try these great restaurants:
- Alexander's Restaurant
Perfect for the special occasion, Alexander's Restaurant boats an eclectic menu featuring Continental, Mexican, Swiss, and Asian flavors. Cabo San Lucas.
- Brasil Steak House

For your night out on the town, Cabo San Lucas has plenty of action for you. For dancing, head to Cabo Wabo, The Giggling Marlin, Kokomo, or Squid Roe.
Where should I go shopping?
As Los Cabos has become more popular as an American tourist destination, it has added a wider range of boutiques, gift shops, and galleries. Many stores in San José del Cabo are located in old Colonial buildings within a short walk from the Zócalo. In Cabo San Lucas, visitors can browse dozens of shops including designer boutiques and souvenir shops. For shopping malls, check out Plaza Bonita, Plaza del Mar, or Plaza de la Danza.

What are my golf and recreation options?
Golf
Los Cabos has become one of the premier golf destinations in Mexico due to its stunning vistas of the Pacific Ocean and numerous golf courses designed by today’s best course architects. There are five champion ship golf courses. The Palmilla and Cabo del Sol courses are designed by Jack Nicklaus, the Cabo San Lucas Country Club was created by Roy Dye and the Cabo Real Golf Resort was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. There is also an excellent nine hole public course at Campo de Golf San Jose.
Sportfishing
Los Cabos has the best deep-sea fishing in the world according to many experts. Its location where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortés combine, sets the scene for one of the most prolific fishing grounds on the planet. The biggest prize, blue and black marlin, are usually caught between June and December. Other fish can be caught year round, including wahoo, rooster fish, sword fish, yellow tail, and sailfish.
Whale Watching
Of the world's approximately 21,000 gray whales, an estimated 11,000 make the journey of more than 10,000 miles to bear their calves and frolic in Pacific Coast lagoons to the north of Los Cabos. January through April is prime gray whale watching season. In the waters around Los Cabos, you’ll also see blue whales and humpback whales.
Travel tidbits
Fantastic View
For one of the most fascinating views you'll ever see, head to El Faro de Cabo Falso (The Lighthouse of the False Cape). Built in 1890, the lighthouse has been guiding ships around the Cabo San Lucas peninsula from its perch 500 feet above the water. Access to the lighthouse is via horseback, ATV, or 4-wheel-drive vehicle.
See the Native Wildlife
Make a trip to Estero de San José, where the Rio San José flows into the sea. The resulting estuary has been designated a protected reserve. Here you can see hundreds of species of birds, and in June the beach is a great place to spot sea lions.
Gone Fishin'
Los Cabos is one of the premier sportfishing destinations in the world due to its location where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet. There are many charter boat operators to take you to catch marlin, sailfish, roosterfish, yellowtail, dorado, and more.
Ocean Swimming Not Recommended
By all means soak up the sun, take a stroll, play volleyball, or enjoy any of the other beach activities, but it is best to heed this advice. Ocean swimming is not recommended in some areas of Los Cabos due to a strong current and steep drop-offs located close to shore. But never fear, a swimmable beach is never far away.
Whale Watching
The premiere time for observing the annual 6,000-mile migration of the gray whale in Los Cabos is between the months of January through March. During this time, an abundance of whales can be seen spouting just offshore.
