Los Cabos

The area was remote and rural until the latter 20th century, when the Mexican government began to develop Cabo San Lucas for tourism, which then spread east to the municipal seat. This tourism is by far the main economic activity with over two million visitors per year. Although San José del Cabo is the seat of government for the municipality of Los Cabos, it is smaller than the other city of Cabo San Lucas. This growth has been regulated to outside of the town centre, especially to the south where the beaches are, leaving the historic town centre quiet and relatively unchanged.

A number of the large houses in the center date from the 19th century, and most of these have been converted into restaurants, art galleries and shops selling everything from fine handcrafts, silver, local gemstones and souvenirs The art scene in the town is well-developed because of tourism and people with vacation homes. The town has resisted the addition of large shopping malls and chain stores.

  • Los Cabos, several destinations in one

    The question on many travelers’ minds when planning to visit this incredible destination must be, ‘is Los Cabos the same as Cabo San Lucas?’ The answer is no. Cabo San Lucas is a major beachfront tourist destination at the tip of the Baja California peninsula. However, 32 kilometers to the north of that is San José del Cabo, another important point.

  • Can people swim at Los Cabos beaches?

    This question has a simple but inconclusive answer: it depends. That’s right, it depends on a variety of things such as the sea conditions at the time you visit as well as the beach you’re visiting. We recommend that you follow the rules and signs located at all beaches. Colored flags are placed at each beach to communicate safety and other information.

  • The End of the World is in Los Cabos

    I know, it sounds a bit dramatic, but don’t worry, we are talking about an ancient rock formation located in Cabo San Lucas, right where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet. The Arch of Cabo San Lucas, the main icon of Los Cabos, is a part of “The End of the World”. We highly recommend booking a tour to take a closer look at these wonders of nature. They are truly amazing!

And the town of Tequila, home to numerous agave farms, is located only around 4 hours and a fun day trip from the city. To learn more about Tequila (and Guadalajara, another fantastic Mexico city), read this post.
  • Puerto Vallarta is where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton went to continue their love affari off American soil (both were married to other people). Burton was filming Night of the Iguana and bought Liz a house, Casa Kimberly, for her 32nd birthday. He also purchased the house across the street for more space. They built a bridge between the two so they could escape prying eyes. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor are a large reason why Puerto Vallarta became a popular tourist destination.
  • Casa Kimberly is now a boutique hotel, restored by the owner of Hacienda San Angel. Incidentally, Hacienda San Angel was also purchased by Richard Burton, as a gift for his next wife in 1977.

There is also a beautiful restaurant and tequila bar and a swimming pool and spa. The views from the hotel are incredible.
