Five Can't Miss Spots in Los Cabos
Located at the southernmost point of the Baja California Peninsula is a stunning resort town that combines the best of Mexican culture with stunning seaside escapes.
Just a quick flight from the US will land you in a tropical paradise surrounded by brilliant blue waters. From the beaches to the desert, Los Cabos seems to have it all!
Below I've outlined the five things you absolutely must check-out during your next trip to Los Cabos!
1. El Arco and Playa De Amor
At the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula is the Arch of Cabo San Lucas or El Arco. The rock formation provides the most brilliant natural training venue for cliff diving. Playa De Amor is the north-facing beach on Land's End. The beach is flanked on both sides by the granite rocks from El Arco. Playa Del Amore is a cove that features calm waters, but a walk to the other side of the beach will bring you to the roaring surf of the Pacific Ocean.

2. Cabo Pulmo National Park
Home to one of only three coral reefs on the whole West coast of North America, Cabo Pulmo National Park is one of Baja California's most precious protected marine areas.
Estimated to be almost 20,000 years old, the coral reef here is considered to be the oldest in the American Pacific.

3. Mission San José del Cabo Church
The most historical landmark in all of Los Cabos is the Colonial-style parish church in San José. It was originally built near the beach and was later moved further inland. In 1735, five years after the mission was founded, there was a revolt among the local Pericú culture, and the missionary, Nicolás Tamaral, ended up being sacrificed. Today you can still visit the mission's church and see the tiled mural above the door depicting the events.
