Cabo San Lucas and the more peaceful San Jose del Cabo are located on the southernmost tip of the Baja Peninsula. As you cruise by towering rock formations that reach out to the sea - known as Los Arcos - you will know that your visit to Cabo will be filled with fantastic sights to behold.
Cortes first visited Los Cabos (as the tip of the Baja peninsula is known) in 1535, but it wasn't until a Jesuit mission was built in 1730 that Europeans began to settle in the region. It became a minor center of commerce in the 19th century for passing ships, and now it is a vacation destination for throngs of water and fishing enthusiasts, cruise passengers and tourists from around the world.
Before even Cortes came to visit the area, Cabo’s first visitors were the humpback and grey whales who came to the area to give birth and nurse their young. You can take a whale watching tour to get close to these beautiful, majestic animals in their natural habitat. The waters are also teaming with fish, and sport fishing is a major draw to Cabo San Lucas. You can also enjoy the beautiful waters from a kayak or explore the sights under the sea while snorkeling or from a glass bottomed boat. Catamarans can take you out to see the fabulous Los Arcos - the dramatic stone arch guarding the harbor - and the beautiful beaches surrounding Cabo San Lucas.
