Los Cabos Welcomes Group Travelers

Los Cabos, Mexico is many things to many people: a dramatic desert oasis ripe for exploration, a hot spot for pulsating night life, an authentic Mexican village or an award-winning resort destination. There are many ways to experience and enjoy Los Cabos. From the moment visitors approach the destination by air, they are witness to the diversity of the landscape.

El Arco, a natural stone arch formed where the Sea of Cortes meets the Pacific Ocean, stands as a monument to the breathtaking contrasts of Los Cabos or “the Capes.” Craggy peaks of the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains create a backdrop for the miles of golden beach, azure water and dramatic red rock formations. While only yards but worlds away, saguaro cactus, palms and cultivated gardens dot the pale gold desert landscape.

Located at the end of the world’s longest and most majestic peninsula, Baja California, Los Cabos is a vibrant vacation destination with a history and diversity as rich as all of Mexico. Los Cabos is comprised of two small and very different towns — San José del Cabo to the northeast, Cabo San Lucas at the southern tip — that bracket a 20-mile seacoast “Corridor.”

Picturesque and historic, San Jose del Cabo was once a sleepy mission town established in the 18th Century. It has developed a charming patina appealing to those in search of more than the miles of modern resorts. San Jose is overlooked on one end by the original mission church. At its center is a village square where concerts, dances and craft markets are held. A large number of artists now call San Jose del Cabo home and the town is sprinkled with galleries and studios showing and selling art by local and international artists. Boutique hotels, eclectic restaurants and a wide variety of specialty shops further satisfy a visitor’s curiosity.

Twenty miles down the coast and marked by the famed arch, lively Cabo San Lucas pulses ‘round-the-clock with shops, restaurants and nightclubs, the marina and mariachis. Those in search of lively beaches, glass bottom boat tours, kayak excursions to El Arco and Lover’s Beach, toes in the sand dining, live music with dancing to the wee hours and more, will find Cabo San Lucas home. The Cabo San Lucas Marina is also home to the new “Cabo Dolphins” program where visitors can swim and interact with the playful Pacific bottlenose dolphins. Fishermen who head out to sea in search of the big catch as well as sunset cruises, “pirate ships,” yachts and catamarans depart daily from the Marina to take in the sights along the coastline.

Connecting the two towns is twenty miles of a “corridor” road along which are resorts both grand and intimate and a rolling sea of famous golf courses. One side of the corridor offers endless views of pristine white sand beach and blue sea, while along the other side is the quiet desert and beyond that is the mountain range. A diverse landscape by any measure.

Wherever one stays and whatever one’s interests, whether romantics or outdoor enthusiasts, visitors relish in the selection of hotels (from budget to luxury) and the wealth of activities (from sunbathing to marlin fishing) found in this picturesque destination surrounded by sands of both desert and sea.

Families, honeymooners, mature travelers, golfers, eco-tourists, artists, photographers, sightseers and others find what they are looking for when they visit Los Cabos. Located at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos offers travelers an exotic escape within easy reach of most U.S. cities.

With non-stop flights or convenient connections available from Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose and Sacramento, California; Houston and Dallas, Texas; Portland, Oregon; Kansas City, Missouri; Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, New York, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Seattle and more, Los Cabos is both accessible and exciting.
