Los Cabos is best identified
by the image of the world famous rock arch formation "El Arco," where
the Pacific dances with the warm waters of the Sea of Cortes and
creates a unique and striking atmosphere of arid climates, cinnamon
colored mountains, emerald greens-in-a-striking desert landscape,
together linking miles of white sand beaches with clear sapphire
blue waters of unspoiled beauty. It is the largest destination
in Mexico in terms of layout, beginning at the northeast with the
historic and picturesque city of San Jose del Cabo, Los Cabos at
the southern tip brackets a 20 mile seacoast 'Corridor,' home to
a range of elegant hotels, and to a collection of championship
golf courses. San Jose del Cabo still looks like the 18th Century
mission town that it once was, with charming courtyards, restaurants,
boutiques, a small hotel, and a lovely tropical estuary, Estero
San Jose. The atmosphere here is subdued compared to the more rowdy
nightlife town of Los Cabos which is also known as the home of
world-class (marlin) fishing. It also boasts some of the finest
restaurants, sophisticated shopping, a large marina, and a very
active nightlife. Between these two towns is the 'Corridor,' the
site of the most recent resort and golf course development, not
to mention some of Baja's most beautiful beaches and coves. Most
of the hotels here offer a more "elusive" feeling than
in the towns at either end. Today, Los Cabos attracts a broad range
of visitors offering a wide variety of activities such a world-famous
fishing, windsurfing, and outstanding diving. The area also draws
beach lovers, golfers, honeymooners, families, and eco-tourists.
It is a sun and sea lovers dream come true.
