About
Cabo San Lucas
Two small and very different towns |
San
José del Cabo to the
northeast, Cabo San Lucas
at the southern tip bracket a twenty-mile
seacoast "Corrido", home to
a range of elegant hotels, and to a
collection championship golf courses
that combine the green velvet-in-a-desert
look of Arizona links with the oceanfront
challenges of Pebble Beach.
Picturesque and historic San José
del Cabo still looks like the 18th Century
mission town it once was; Cabo San Lucas,
where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortés
(home to world-class Marlin fishing)
at a natural stone arch, jumps around
the clock with shops, restaurants and
nightclubs, the Marina and the mariachis.
In both towns, and all along the highway
between them, are places to stay that
suit any style and fit most budgets.
Los Cabos is at the southern tip of
Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.
Approaching by air across the Sea of
Cortés (which separates the Baja
from the rest of Mexico) the visitor
first sees contrast: the craggy peaks
of the Sierra de la Laguna form a backdrop
to miles of golden beach, blue water
and dramatic red rock formations; saguaro
cactus, palms and cultivated gardens
cover the pale gold desert landscape.
Cabo San Lucas is best identified by
the image of the world famous rock arch
formation "El Arco"
where the Pacific meets the warm water
of the Sea of Cortes.
Like many of its hotels, the name "Los
Cabos" is recent: it means "the
Capes." |
