Welcome to this piece of paradise in Mexico, where views of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean are as stunning as the sunsets. On the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula lies Cabo San Lucas. Surrounded by white sands and azure waters, you can relax, take part in watersports, or head to vibrant downtown Cabo, where cocktails and dancing are around every corner. Cabo’s activities are endless as its different terrains make it possible to ride horses through the desert, charter a boat for fishing or snorkeling, and parasail from the beach above the waves.

Take in the spectacular arching El Arco stone cliffs at Land's End or gaze up at skies alive with caracara birds from a panga as you drift in the blue waters. Escape the crowds to shop in quaint art towns, such as Todos Santos, one of Mexico’s rare Pueblo Magico, Visit the Sierra de la Laguna Mountain Range or dive in coral reefs in the Sea of Cortez. If you are a fishing enthusiast, Cabo is the marlin capital of the world.

Cabo restaurants and cafés serve delicious, fresh seafood year-round; be sure to sample the smoked marlin. Fajados chicken tamales are the traditional food of Cabo, prepared with delicious seasoning, stewed chicken, and corn dough. Cabo is also home to the Mexican chocolate clam — named for the color of its shell, not the taste. They are roasted and covered with rosemary for a unique flavor.
