Cabo San Lucas


Hotels.com has you covered in Mexico from city stays to the well-known tourist resorts to one-of-a-kind destinations in this diverse country.

Los Cabos is at the tip of Baja California Peninsula in Western Mexico, where the sapphire Sea of Cortez meets desert and mountains. Part of the fun of Los Cabos comes from its two dramatically distinct personas. Tranquil San Jose del Cabo retains the look and vibe of a genuine Mexican town. Cobblestone streets, intimate restaurants and boutiques radiate from the central main square and mission church. Colorful colonial buildings, small art galleries, boutiques and alfresco restaurants create an authentic atmosphere that manages to be both laid-back and sophisticated Mexican.

Rambunctious Cabo San Lucas, on the other end of the highway called the Corridor, is party central. There are funky bars and the slick Luxury Avenue Mall centered around the marina. Along the Corridor you will find most of the luxurious resorts, impressive spas and championship golf courses for which Los Cabos has become famous. The Corridor is also home to some of the area’s best beaches for water sports.

Here are some of the attractions and things to do in the Cabo San Lucas Area:

Explore the Mission Route
More than 28 missions were established in Baja California South, dating as far back as the late 1600s. Many of them were built by Father Junipiero Serra as part of a mission route that extends into Northern California.

With San Jose del Cabo as your starting point, you can trace the Mission Route throughout Baja California.

Go to Land’s End
The distinctive landmark of Cabo San Lucas is the rugged taffy-colored El Arco (The Arch) rock formation that erupts from the sea at the tip of the Baja Peninsula. It’s called Land’s End because, if you followed a line south from here, you would not touch land again until you reached the South Pole.

Playa del Amour (Lover’s Beach) at the base of the rock formations is a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll, some sunbathing, snorkeling, swimming and a picnic.

While the Baja Peninsula today is a major migration route for whales, Cabo San Lucas was once an important trade route for Spanish galleons in the 1500s. Pirates would hide behind the protection of El Arco as they waited for Spanish fleets loaded with treasure.

Seek Adventure
Ecotourism enthusiasts and adventure seekers will find no lack of things to do. Hike, mountain bike or horse back ride above rock canyons and along deserted beaches. ATV through the desert, whale watch in season, fish, dive, snorkel, golf – and lot’s more!
