JOSÉ DEL CABO.

FROM DIVING DEEP TO RIDING HIGH, THERE’S SOMETHING FUN TO EXPERIENCE EVERYWHERE IN LOS CABOS.

By Vanessa Molina Santamaria

Each year, sea turtles including hawksbill, leatherback, and loggerhead species nest on the same beaches that visitors enjoy. For this reason, several hotels in Los Cabos have preservation programs to help protect the fragile turtle eggs and make sure the baby turtles make it safely out to sea once they’ve hatched. 1 2 3 4 5 6

The iconic rock formation known as El Arco, translated as “the arch,” marks the meeting point of the Sea of Cortés and the Pacific Ocean. Sail here at sunset and you’ll be delighted with fiery colors reflecting on the sea as the last rays create a dramatic contrast against the granite formations that make up Land’s End.

Every Thursday from November to June, the streets of San José del Cabo come alive with free cultural art walks. Come in the evening to explore the many art galleries open until 9 p.m., meet artists, listen in on a lecture, or participate in a wine social while enjoying live music. Be sure to stop for dinner at one of the many nearby restaurants offering mouthwatering cuisine.

SNORKEL IN CHILENO BAY OR DIVE INTO CABO PULMO.

Head to Chileno Bay for the ultimate snorkeling experience. In calm waters, you may not even need snorkeling gear to spot the colorful fish swimming in the bay. For

those looking for a deeper sea adventure, Cabo Pulmo National Park offers some of the best diving opportunities. The reef, located two hours from Los Cabos, is home to abundant sea life, including sharks, sea lions, octopuses, and eels.

GO ON A WHALE-WATCHING TOUR FOR A GLIMPSE AT THE GIANTS.

During their annual migration from the icecold Arctic to the warm waters of the Baja peninsula, you can spot humpback whales swimming past the coastline. If you’re lucky, you may see them from shore; but for the best chance, book a guided tour. Keep your camera ready, as you never know when one of these gentle giants will breach the water! The best time to go whale watching in Los Cabos is from January through March.

EXPERIENCE THE THRILL OF A DESERTBOUND ATV RIDE.

Are fast-paced adventures more your speed? Go off-roading in the rugged, dusty countryside or explore the sandy beaches

and cactus-lined desert landscape on an exhilarating ATV tour. You’ll discover hidden canyons, flora and fauna, and stunning viewpoints of the surrounding crystalline waters.

PLAN A SIDE TRIP TO LOCAL FARMS AND RANCHES.

You’ll get a feel for the deep-rooted farming culture when you visit one of the many eco-farms and ranches dotted across the Baja California Sur region. Here you can take farm tours, pick your own produce, and taste some of the freshest farm-to-table cuisine for a truly authentic experience.

La Vida de Rancho

The true mystery and allure of the Baja countryside lie in its quaint, sleepy towns that embody the traditional way of ranching in the outback. Local culture fuses dreamily with the quiet artisan soul, perfectly encapsulated in the tiny idyllic pueblos of Miraflores and Santiago.

Miraflores, translated as “look at flowers,” captures the innate beauty you’d expect to see with such a pretty name. The soul of the pueblo is built around the inherent Mexican cowboy culture, which spawned legendary leather making prowess. Saddle making was the town’s historical main industry, though in modern times, streetside shops showcase a variety of handcrafted leather goods. Tiny tiendas offer succulent Mexican fare to fuel your leisurely stroll. To truly experience the soul of the Baja outlands, Miraflores does not disappoint.

Santiago’s charm lies secluded in the Desert Park’s Cabo Real Ecological Preserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site encompassing 50,000 acres of protected natural habitat. The locally owned Rancho Ecológico Sol de Mayo, located on the preserve, blossoms with natural subtropical desert flora and fauna. A short stroll down a worn, cactuslined path through the outback leads you to Fox Canyon and the iconic Sol de Mayo waterfall, a 40-foot cascading waterfall that plunges into a freshwater pool. Stop for a quick dip before enjoying a traditional Mexican lunch of handmade tortillas and chorizo.—Nick Honachefsky 7 8

SIGN UP FOR A COOKING CLASS TO RE-CREATE THE DISHES YOU LOVE.

Once you get a taste of the region’s authentic Mexican cuisine, you’ll be daydreaming about it back home. So why not pick up a few recipes and techniques as a souvenir? Some cooking classes in Los Cabos also include a local market or farm tour where you can pick your own produce. Then, local chefs guide you through popular recipes for a truly unforgettable experience.

DRAMATIC WAVES, SANDY BAYS, AND UNDERWATER WONDERS ARE ALL YOURS TO DISCOVER.

By Rick Stedman

Featuring nearly 100 miles of coastline, the municipality of Los Cabos is home to numerous beaches that draw visitors from the world over. Whether it’s snorkeling, beachcombing, swimming, surfing, or kayaking, the local beaches are a highlight of every visit. There are ongoing efforts to preserve and maintain this exquisite natural resource Jacques Cousteau described as “the world’s aquarium,” referring to the Sea of Cortés.

One of those efforts is the worldwide standard set by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), which established the Blue Flag designation. This is the gold standard for beaches worldwide that receive this designation, making it easier for visitors to identify the safest and most environmentally sound beaches for swimming or snorkeling. The Blue Flag is a prestigious honor to target sustainable development, demanding strict standards in water quality, environmental education and information, environmental management, and safety.

The effort to go green has paid off along Mexico’s Baja California Sur coastline. Of Mexico’s 70 Blue Flag–designated beaches, 22 are in Los Cabos. Those beaches include Acapulquito, Chileno, Corsario, El Surgidero, Hacienda, La Gaviota, Las Viudas, Palmilla, Santa Maria, La Ribera, Breathless, Casa Dorada, Club Cascades de Baja, ME Cabo, Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos, Pueblo Bonito Rosé, Riu Palace Los Cabos, Riu Santa Fe, Villa de Palmar, Villa del Arco, Villa La Estancia Beach Resort & Spa, and Monuments Beach.

CABO SAN LUCAS

Best swimming beach: Médano Beach, one of the most popular destinations in Los Cabos, is easily accessible from area hotels and is the epicenter of daily nonstop action. In addition to beachcombing and people watching, Médano features a round-the-clock party vibe. Mango Deck and The Office on the Beach are just a couple Médano Beach watering holes. Regardless of the season, it’s spring break on the Mango Deck, which opens daily from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Don’t miss the all-you-can-eat Sunday buffet until 1 p.m. After the partying, there are Jet Skis and parasailing; or visitors can hop aboard a water taxi or glass-bottom boat to get a different perspective of the bay and below.

Just across the bay from Médano is Lover’s Beach and its neighboring Divorce Beach, near El Arco at Land’s End. To get there, visitors will need to hire a water taxi or other water-based transportation. Lover’s Beach is on the Sea of Cortés side of the bay, while Divorce Beach can be reached through a break in the rocks on the Pacific Ocean side.

It’s recommended not to swim or snorkel on the Pacific side due to riptides and rough waves.

THE CORRIDOR

Best swimming beach: Sheltered by scenic coves, the crescent beaches at Santa Maria and nearby El Chileno both feature calm waters and dramatic landscapes. Santa Maria is a perfectly shaped horseshoe, and in such an idyllic location, it always draws a weekend crowd. Santa Maria offers a visitor’s kiosk, bathrooms, and outdoor showers. El Chileno has public restrooms and is on the snorkeling tour circuit. Early morning is best, not only to enjoy the beach but for snorkeling as well.

Also on The Corridor is Monuments Beach, a somewhat small beach and surfer’s favorite. It has easy access and is located a few miles from downtown Cabo San Lucas.

Though not recommended for swimming due to its powerful surf, Playa Las Viudas is a small sandy beach worth visiting. The beautiful scenery makes for a memorable day at the beach. Amenities include public restrooms, showers, lifeguards, beach umbrellas, and parking.

Playa Bledito, also known as Tequila Cove Beach, is also on the Los Cabos Corridor. Located at Km. 19.5, Playa Bledito sits in front of the Meliã Cabo Real and the Hilton Los Cabos. It’s a safe swimming beach, thanks to a man-made breakwater.

SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO

Best whale-watching opportunity: Punta Palmilla, along The Corridor at Km. 27, offers the best time to see whales between

January and March. Arguably as impressive as Santa Maria, Punta Palmilla is another very swimmable beach worth a visit.

Best surfing beach: Playa Acapulquito takes that honor on The Corridor. Located at Km. 28, this is a hit with both beginners and longboarders. The Cabo Surf Hotel & Spa sits just above the beach and is home to the Mike Doyle Surf School, providing rentals and lessons. After tackling the waves, head to nearby 7 Seas Seafood Grille for a tasty meal.

EAST CAPE

The small village of La Ribera is about 50 minutes’ drive northeast of Los Cabos International Airport. Reminiscent of Los Cabos 30 years ago, its laid-back atmosphere is even more appealing given its fabulous beaches. Visitors enjoy swimming, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, snorkeling, and strolling along the white-sand beach.

At Cabo Pulmo Marine Park, you can enjoy a swim and some of the finest snorkeling in the world. Visitors often see hundreds of colorful fish swimming along the reef and rocks just a few dozen yards from the shore.

Seeing and experiencing the world underwater in Los Cabos and surrounding areas is an unforgettable experience. Be prepared to encounter hundreds of vibrant tropical fish species like pufferfish and delicate butterfly fish. You may also peek at sea creatures such as giant manta rays, swordnosed marlin, toothy sharks, groupers, and sea turtles.

One thing is certain: You will not be disappointed with your underwater experience.

ART & CULTURE

Art

Scene

Poised at the southern tip of the Baja peninsula, Los Cabos is a cultural canvas painted by the Guaycura and Chochimis Indian tribes, Spanish conquistadors, treasureseeking pirates, and Jesuit missionaries. Packed with beauty and culture, the region welcomes art aficionados with open arms.

CULTURAL CENTER

A bit of insight into Baja’s history will show the region was quiet in the period between Hernán Cortés’ first expedition in 1535 and the establishment of Misión San José del Cabo Anuiti in 1730, under the direction of Jesuit Nicolas Tamaral and the Spanish Crown missionaries. Fast-forward three centuries, and Iglesia de San José church, perched on the site of the former mission in the heart of town, has achieved landmark status for its bell towers, traditional art, and colorful mosaics. The revered place of worship continues to

navigate its intended path with daily mass.

Tucked into whitewashed colonial structures behind the church, the San José del Cabo Gallery District has evolved from modest beginnings into an artist’s mecca. Invest in pottery shaped, polished, and painted entirely by hand by Mata Ortiz. Or score intricately beaded artworks crafted by the Sierra Madre–dwelling Huichol Indians from Nayarit and Jalisco, and Neo-Zapotec hand-painted woodcarvings from Oaxaca.

The galleries in San José del Cabo offer an impressive variety of artistic treasures. Among the high-end studios displaying original paintings and sculptures, Galería de Ida Victoria flaunts an eclectic collection from more than 20 established and emerging North American talents. Discover intriguing works by Alfredo Romera, Angel Velasco, Charles Barth, Brooke Anderson, Ignacio Guerrero, Lorena Becerra, Nancy Brazil, and Trisha Oldfield.

Considered a “living master,” painter and sculptor Frank Arnold welcomes admirers to peruse his gallery and working studio, brimming with abstract works. Across the cobblestone street, a dramatic sculpture garden invites you to stroll amid a growing collection of Arnold’s sculptures and offers open space for special events.

From November through June, the district’s popular Thursday Art Walk spotlights Galería de Ida Victoria, Frank Arnold Gallery, and others, exhibiting a full scope of genres and mediums. Rub shoulders with accomplished creators on hand to chat about their pieces as mariachi and rock bands converge on the street. Eateries chime in with culinary magic like mole tamales, best consumed with a handcrafted margarita or artisanal mezcal.

IMAGINATIVE ALTERNATIVES

The Los Cabos International Film Festival resumed its place in the Baja art scene last year following the shutdown, and it is slated for November 2023. This highly anticipated event welcomed back cinema lovers for a weekend of intriguing exhibits and discussion panels.

THE MAGICAL TOWN OF TODOS SANTOS

The laid-back hamlet of San José del Cabo and the artistic community of Todos Santos serve as bookends to the high-energy vacation buzz of Cabo San Lucas. Founded as a mission a decade before San José del Cabo, the Pacific Coast colonial town remained isolated until it boomed in the late 1800s as the sugarcane trade swept through. When underground springs dried up, so did its agricultural appeal until the early 1980s, when a two-lane highway and flowing springs ushered in a new era as a sanctuary for bohemians, ex-pats, and artists.

While cruising through the colony, visitors gravitate to the Our Lady of Pilar (Iglesia Nuestra Señora del Pilar), a religious relic dating back to 1733. Former haciendas, artisan shops, artist-operated galleries, and charming restaurants emerge from the nooks and crannies of whitewashed buildings.

In 2006, the Mexican government recognized the town’s preservation of authentic history and artistic charm when granting it Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) status that nods to its “impressive rural and cultural characteristics.”

BE SURE TO MAKE TIME FOR A FEW SIDE TRIPS WHILE YOU’RE HERE — LOS CABOS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

By Nick Honachefsky

Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo are only the beginning of a wide world of wonder if you just take the time to explore the region’s lesser-known, picturesque towns. Here are some of Baja’s hidden gems.

MIRAFLORES

Follow the Route 1 Corridor for about 25 miles into the heart of the country until you reach the beautifully serene, blossoming pueblo of Miraflores, which delightfully translates to “look at the flowers.” With a population of just over 1,000, an intimate atmosphere lines the streets with artisan leather makers selling their creations.

SANTIAGO

Situated 30 miles north of Los Cabos, Santiago’s roots date back to 1723, born from a mission and built by an Italian padre. Tightly woven streets are lined with true cowboys, clip-clopping on horseback along the streets. A testament to the working farms Baja was born from, Santiago’s farmers produce much of Los Cabos’ fruits, vegetables, and meats, which are served at San Lucas’ finest restaurants. The town’s museum is loaded with colonial artifacts and fossils from the local mountainsides, including shark teeth and ammonites. Stop by teeming Sol de Mayo, a small community near Fox Canyon, where a spectacular 40-foot freshwater waterfall called La Cola de La Zorra, “The Tail of the Fox,” cascades into a refreshingly cool spring pool.

TODOS SANTOS

No other tiny town creates so much brilliant

artwork. Situated an hour’s ride on Highway 19 north from San Lucas on the Pacific side, Todos Santos is dotted with myriad artisan shops showcasing incredible local works of art. The small restaurants are blooming with genuine Mexican fare amid a quiet ambience where artists, musicians, filmmakers, and chefs gather inspiration.

EL TRIUNFO

Famed for its early silverworks, El Triunfo’s brick buildings reflect the rich history of the area’s silver mining age. Now known for spicy indigenous food, restaurants are sparse but worth every second it takes to discover a feast fit for kings. Before you leave, stop by the Rosario Cactus Sanctuary, a 138-acre nature reserve showcasing Baja’s prickly giants.

SAN ANTONIO

With fewer than 500 residents, San Antonio is most definitely the place to find peace and quiet. Like El Triunfo, the town has a silver mining past with some stunning backdrops for memorable photos, such as abandoned mines and the namesake church temple. Clear your mind and listen to the whispering breezes as they swirl through the historic streets.

LA PAZ

Translated as “The Peace,” La Paz exists as a literal oasis, a diamond in the rough, as natural beauty abounds on land and at sea along the shores of the Sea of Cortés. Defined by gentle sea breezes and the benefit of soaking in stunning sunrises and sunsets, La Paz embodies the true developed Mexican village vibe, bustling with fishermen and street vendors, with a touch of plush class. The town’s zocalo (main square) exhibits the soul of Baja’s cultural and political life. Here you’ll find the stunning Velasco Garden, the Museum of Anthropology, and the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Paz, built in 1861 by Dominican priests and lined with paintings rescued from old missions.

EAST CAPE

A highlight of the boundless, silent beauty of the East Cape is Cabo Pulmo Marine Park, home to North America’s only living hard coral reef, a 20,000-year-old living structure spanning 45.75 square miles and populated with gregarious dolphins, breaching whales, and a natural ecosystem containing over 300 species of tropical fish and 2,000 invertebrates.

A short, 10- to 30-minute ride north of Los Cabos along the scenic coastline on Highway 1 puts you in the heart of the East Cape’s Costa Azul area, whose silent pull beckons surfers to surrender their souls by catching the ultimate wave.

LORETO

Peacefully situated on the eastern side of the Baja peninsula and overlooking the turquoise waters of the Gulf of California, Loreto is a small, charming town with a central plaza, historic mission, friendly people, family-run hotels, restaurants, and beautiful views of the gulf. Loreto’s sparsely populated city is a nature lover’s paradise with more cacti than people. Along with six offshore islands in the gulf, Loreto Bay has been designated a protected national marine park and recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.

COMONDÚ

The municipality of Comondú, a large swath of the state of Baja California Sur, mostly rests along the Pacific Ocean side of the peninsula. One of the biggest attractions to Comondú is Misión San José de Comondú, home to one of the first missions built on the mission trail. Traveling slightly south will bring tourists to the beautiful waters of Magdalena Bay, a renowned spot for spotting gray whales as they raise their young during the annual winter migration.

MULEGÉ

Farther afield in the northern part of the state, the curious and adventurous traveler will be rewarded with a bucket-list experience exploring the rock art and cave paintings around Mulegé. Prehistoric sites dating back 7,500 years dot the peninsula; whereas some are easy to access, most require a trained guide.

By Dawna L. Robertson

With its melting pot populace migrating to the tip of the Baja peninsula from destinations like Japan, Asia, Europe, and Mediterranean regions, Los Cabos’ gastronomy scene flourishes with dishes as diverse as its global influences.

Taste buds traverse the sphere with Japanese fare at Nicksan, Swiss specialties at Alexander Restaurant, Italian fare at Romeo & Julieta Ristorante, Mediterranean at El Huerto Farm to Table Restaurant, and Asian influences

with a trove of exotic spices from India and the Far East at Las Ventanas al Paraíso’s Arbol. Indigenous Mexican cuisine, however, is the embodiment of Mexico’s vibrant culture. Creative “born and raised” chefs broaden the spectrum by merging global flavors into their family recipes passed down for generations.

Seductive menus feature such Baja delicacies as chocolate clams, dorado, smoked marlin, shrimp, and lobster. Go gourmet with Tres Sirenas’ seasonal entrees and wine pairings. Or relish such rich traditions as banana leaf–wrapped tamales with a smoky Mezcal at Pancho’s Restaurant & Tequila Bar. In Los Cabos, global and local concepts paint an incredible edible canvas beyond compare.

MEMORABLE MEALS

The Cape, A Thompson Hotel, is home to a handful of Enrique Olvera eateries lauded among Baja’s finest. Helming the resort’s culinary centerpiece, Manta’s Chef de Cuisine Abisai Sanchez presents a remarkable menu merging distinctive flavors from Mexico, Japan, Peru, and beyond. True to its name, with unobstructed Sea of Cortés views, the

al fresco bar Sunken welcomes guests with living room–style seating and rich leather banquettes surrounding a central bar. The stylish lounge indulges with artful cocktails, seasonal bites, and live entertainment. The Rooftop rivals as a dramatic gathering space with two open-air bars, sunken communal seating, fire pits, and serene water features. Sunset acoustic music and after-dark DJs are on regular rotation at this fashionable lounge.

Tucked into rugged coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific, Waldorf Astoria Pedregal’s AAA Four Diamond El Farallón resembles a coastal seafood market where patrons select fresh catches displayed atop mounds of shaved ice. Once weighed, chefs work their magic in an open-air kitchen. As waves crash below, tune into the mood as Chef Miriam Jimenez expertly preps the fisherman’s catch of the day. The sea-to-table menu and beautiful hideaway setting create one of Los Cabos’ most privileged dining journeys.

Exceptional restaurants offer unforgettable dining experiences, complete with breathtaking décor and delectable cuisine fit for the savviest gourmets.

Among these, the ultra-luxe One&Only Palmilla Resort appeals with what is considered by uber foodies as one of Baja’s finest assemblies of on-site dining concepts.

Michelin-Star Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten shines with his internationally renowned style displayed at SEARED, the resort’s elegant steak house showcasing the finest cuts of meats such as succulent a la carte rib eye, Wagyu and Kobe available by the ounce, and Vongerichten’s revered caviar. This masterpiece also awes with aquatic treasures of spiny lobster, whole red snapper, and Hamachi sashimi complemented with Yuzu dressing. Pair distinguished fare with selections from one of the most extensive wine lists in all of Mexico.

It’s all about indulging the senses at JW Marriott Los Cabos’ Café des Artistes. Designed by acclaimed Chef Thierry Blouet, the innovative menu fuses his native France’s culinary techniques with authentic Mexican dishes. Elevate the gastro rush by booking the private Chef’s Table for grazing through a culinary endeavor of fresh, sustainable products.

NATION OF FLAVORS

Mexico is a vast country with a rich history and wildly varied geography. Naturally, these elements have inspired countless recipes steeped in tradition.

Just five minutes from Esperanza, An Auberge Resort, open-air El Huerto joins Los Tamarindos with a refined farm-totable concept. Surrounded by breathtaking Cabo landscapes, gardens, orchards, and fruit trees, this haven resembles a rustic Baja hacienda with a functioning farm meticulously planted every season. Sustainable dishes blend Mediterranean and Asian influences with Baja’s signature seafood. Breakfast and dinner menus adapt to current onsite harvests. Explore the grounds, relax in a hammock, or chat around a fire pit while ogling the star-studded Cabo sky above. Reservations are highly recommended.

Named for the legendary

Mexican general Pancho Villa, Pancho’s Restaurant & Tequila Bar runs the gamut while representing each of the country’s 31 states. Savor tamales wrapped in banana leaves from Oaxaca, short ribs from Sonora, chicken mole from Puebla, and succulent seafood from Baja California Sur. Sip smoky mezcal as chefs display their mastery on a large mesquite grill. Decidedly Mexican, the eatery’s festive décor is ignited with papel picado banners, a veritable rainbow of colorful linens, and engaging murals.

A Los Cabos favorite, Edith’s Restaurante is a vibrant medley of Baja Californian and Guerreran cuisines, serving steaks and seafood prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Candlelight, palapas, and an intimate view of Médano Beach and the famed El Arco combine to create a magical setting for a once-in-a-lifetime meal.

With origins in the 1970s, The Office, a small palapa on the beach, was host to a local character and his clients — giving the small, unpretentious spot its name. These days, the restaurant serves deliciously colorful plates and hosts live music and

events against a gorgeous ocean backdrop.

With Pacific beachfront views in San José del Cabo, 7 Seas Seafood Grille presents succulent seafood and shellfish caught in local waters. Executive Chef Alejandro Rodriguez Ponce and his crew tap into their Mexican heritage by crafting dishes of organic, regional produce with Mediterranean, Asian, and American accents. Nestled into sand dunes along the epic San José del Cabo coastline, Zadún, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve, designs dining journeys to share fresh approaches to Mexican fare by reviving regional traditions.

Rustic, yet refined, Humo pays homage to Latin American grilling techniques with Lobster Causa and oysters from the Crudo Bar prepared over open flames. Sumptuous entrees play out with 12-ounce filet mignon, grilled sea bass, and Peruvian-style roasted chicken.

Cap off an exquisite feat at Candil, where mixologist Hector Ramirez amazes with agave libations including mezcal, tequila, and the less common sotol, bacanora, and raicilla. These spirits merge into RitzCarlton bespoke cocktails, highlighted by the Pastorcito, Ramirez’s favorite, named for the famous Taco al Pastor. Meanwhile, Dining Beyond elevates the resort’s traditional offerings with three-, four-, and fivecourse affairs.

Los Tres Gallos

(The Three Roosters) delivers Mexican aromas and flavors via old family recipes perfected by generations of cooks and chefs honoring their mothers’ and grandmothers’ traditions. Authentic dishes are presented in a quaint, colorful courtyard brimming with fruit trees. The open-air kitchen heightens the gastro senses as chefs prepare such classic regional favorites as skirt steak, chicken mole enchiladas, tortilla soup, and Chilean sea bass. For ultimate edible nirvana, the Molcajete overwhelms with chorizo, steak, shrimp, melted cheese, and sliced avocados.

RANKED AS ONE OF THE TOP SPORTFISHING DESTINATIONS, LOS CABOS IS AN OUTSTANDING SPOT FOR ANGLERS YEAR-ROUND.

By Nick Honachefsky

Ernest Hemingway fished here. In fact, Los Cabos was a favorite spot for the original Old Man and the Sea. That should be enough to convince any fishing aficionado to cast a line in Los Cabos. But if literary legends aren’t enough to convince you, the fishing sure will. Los Cabos offers a wide array of sportfishing opportunities and is world renowned as one of the top fishing destinations. Inshore, you’ll hook snapper, grouper, and the wild-looking roosterfish. Offshore waters deliver world-class striped marlin fishing, with blue and black marlin, wahoo, dorado, and tuna on the menu. Fishing can be a swift 3- to 4-hour day or extend to a full-day, 12-hour marathon, with all the rewards that keep you coming back. So, what’s on tap?

BATTLING BIG GAME

The prolific purple-blue waters where the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortés merge off the tip of Land’s End at Cabo San Lucas, mark the jumping-off point for the Baja sportfishing fleet. Big game is the target as open-sea species like marlin, dorado, wahoo, tuna, and more patrol the submarine seamounts from 3 to 60 miles off the coastline. Striped marlin are the ultimate prize of offshore fishing, and many seasoned anglers consider Los Cabos waters the absolute number one spot among all the world’s oceans to target the stripeys. Both blue and black marlin, ranging from 200 to 600 pounds on average, become the day’s catch. Marlin is caught by dragging trolled ballyhoo baits or squid spreader bars and daisy chains behind the boat at a five- to eight-knot pace.

There’s no mistaking when a fish hits the bait as the huge gold 80 to 130 class reels will zip or drag and thick, sturdy

fishing rods will be bent like overloaded catapults. The optimal marlin season extends from September through midMarch, with expected average catches of four to six marlin a day. Dorado, or mahimahi, is another sought-after offshore species, most notably due to its delicious taste on the dinner table. Dorado averages 10 to 40 pounds in size, and trolled baits will also claim the golden beauties. Peak mahimahi season is February through April. Wahoo are lightning-fast speed demons that will hit trolled lures moving at a fast clip between 10 and 14 knots. Many Los Cabos restaurants consider their flaky white meat a delicacy. For wahoo, plan your trip around the summer months. Sushi lovers set out to target yellowfin tuna on the offshore humps, as the ruby-red lean meat of the fish is desired more than any other species brought on deck. September through March is prime time for tuna. Charter boats will provide all the rods and reels you need offshore to battle the beasts, plus they will pack lunches and stock the fridge full of beer, soda, and water for your utmost comfort on your day offshore. While there’s plenty to do on land in Los Cabos, you’re

Fishing Tournaments

Los Cabos hosts many fishing tournaments during the fall months that pit the skills and knowledge of captains and anglers against each other for some serious jackpots. Six main tournaments hit the Los Cabos shores. Even if you don’t fish a tournament, it’s a blast to attend the weigh-ins and after-parties.

Last year the Bisbee’s Black and Blue tournament awarded over $9.725 million in cash! You read that right! Plan to visit these tournaments in October and early November 2023:

TLos Cabos Guide to

he Los Cabos golf scene has grown from humble beginnings into a lush landscape of rolling greens and championship-level play. Its first course, the San José del Cabo Municipal, was built by hand and opened in 1987, featuring a ninehole course, 32 bunkers, and a lake within a 3,153-yard flat course with a par of 35. That nine-hole course is still operating today as Vidanta Golf Los Cabos.

The One&Only Palmilla Golf Course opened in Los Cabos in 1992 as Jack Nicklaus’s first signature course built in Latin America. It was also the start of a Los Cabos golf boom that continues to grow. Often referred to as the Grande Dame of Los Cabos golf, the One&Only Palmilla Golf Club today offers 27 holes, featuring 9 holes at each of the Mountain, Ocean, and Arroyo courses.

INCREDIBLE TRACKS

Golfers from all over the world flock to Los Cabos for the region’s many scenic and challenging courses. While most of these incredible courses are centered in and around greater Los Cabos, the newest tracks have extended north up the Baja peninsula on the Pacific Ocean side and along the Sea of Cortés.

The most recent course to open is the oceanfront Solmar Golf Links, one of Greg Norman’s gems. Since its debut in 2020, it has become one of Los Cabos’ most coveted golf courses. The aptly named Solmar, which translates to “sun and sea,” is the name of the on-site resort Grand Solmar at Rancho San Lucas. The course boasts a magnificent panorama of dunes, fairways, and ocean views that blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural vegetation, making this a must-play course. The 191-yard, par-3 17th is the only island green in Los Cabos and the layout’s most photographed hole.

Since its 2018 opening, Twin Dolphin Golf Club has promoted itself as “championship golf for the everyday player,” after its design by PGA champion Fred Couples. Every hole

offers a picturesque view of the Sea of Cortés. The course is unique by offering tee times and instead lives on Cabo time, offering night golf at the practice tee! The private 18-hole, par-72 course measures 7,156 yards and is available to guests and owners of Montage Los Cabos and Maravilla Los Cabos.

Opened in 2019 and designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the luxurious Costa Palmas course in the East Cape region sits roughly 65 miles from Cabo San Lucas and is affiliated with the Four Seasons. This stunning 18-hole championship course features desert and ocean views, dunescapes, and wide, challenging fairways.

ON THE DRAWING BOARD

Following the design success of the Quivira Golf Club, Jack Nicklaus Design began working on a second course in the northwest area of the 1,850-acre development, 10 minutes from Los Cabos. Offering panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and an incredible backdrop from the Sierra de la Laguna

mountains, the new private course will be playable for Old Lighthouse Club residents, a private community within the Quivira resort.

Since the early 1990s, Jack Nicklaus Design has made its mark on the Baja golf scene. Club Campestre, one of three courses under the Questro Golf umbrella, was designed by Nicklaus. Its undulating, multitiered greens are among the most liberally contoured putting surfaces in Los Cabos, making it a favorite among visitors. The course is located just 15 minutes from the Los Cabos International Airport.

Cabo Real is another Questro Golf jewel situated midway along The Corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo and the showpiece of a 2,800-acre resort and residential project with 3.2 miles of beachfront. The Cabo Real Golf Club features a multi-themed, target-style course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. The recent reversal of the club’s nines has dramatically enhanced the course’s layout and flow.

The third Questro course is the 27hole Puerto Los Cabos. Two of the 9-hole courses were designed by Jack Nicklaus, while the third was conceived by Greg Norman. Combined, the 27 holes at Puerto Los Cabos offer expansive coastline views of the ocean and Sea of Cortés.

Given the abundance of world-class courses in and around Los Cabos, it’s easy to see why this part of Baja has earned a stellar reputation among golfers.

WITH COURSES DESIGNED BY THE INDUSTRY’S TOP DESIGNERS AND PICTURE-PERFECT LANDSCAPES TO MATCH, LOS CABOS IS A GOLFER’S PARADISE.

WHETHER YOU’RE PLANNING A FLAWLESS ENGAGEMENT, THE ULTIMATE WEDDING, THE HONEYMOON OF YOUR DREAMS, AN ANNIVERSARY SURPRISE, OR EVEN A BABYMOON, LOS CABOS HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR LOVERS.

SBy Laura Jenkins

tunningly serene beach views, luxurious resorts, and unparalleled amenities have made Los Cabos the quintessential romantic destination. Whether you’re staging an epic engagement, planning your dream wedding, enjoying a luxurious anniversary getaway, or a relaxing babymoon, Los Cabos has your bases covered.

UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS

A proposal in Los Cabos can be anything from a fabulous engagement adventure to an intimate surprise. The iconic El Arco is a favorite for becoming betrothed, and luckily, numerous tour boats are well versed in romantic shuttles right up to the arch to make the occasion special. Many will even drop you off at Lover’s Beach so you can spend some time alone. If you don’t mind some lucky onlookers, pop the question on one of Los Cabos’ most picturesque beaches, Médano Beach. Or head to Playa Monumentos, a favorite surf spot, for a more private waterfront moment. You can even plan an underwater proposal at Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park or book an exquisite private dinner at one of the many oceanside resorts. The options are endless.

Los Cabos is famous for traditional and unconventional wedding celebrations, so creating one tailored to your dreams is a breeze.

In February 2022, Noble House Hotels & Resorts officially unveiled the $100 million Corazón Cabo Resort & Spa — the company’s first venture in Mexico. The contemporary new build tower offers 187 hotel rooms and 17 luxury suites. Sitting right next to the Sea of Cortés and on Los Cabos’

Romantic

only swimmable stretch of Médano Beach, Corazón Cabo is an ideal retreat.

Most resorts offer brides and grooms the option of incorporating Mexican traditions into their celebration, providing add-ons like mariachis, authentic Mexican cuisine, and festive regional décor. So, it’s a great opportunity to get creative!

CELEBRATING MILESTONES

Anniversary celebrations are unrivaled in Los Cabos. Whether you’re celebrating 1 or 50 years of wedded bliss, it’s the perfect place to reflect, renew, and remember how relaxing and rejuvenating the Baja peninsula can be. JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa is an oasis for every preference. Take an earlymorning stroll on the scenic beach to look for seashells, then soak up the sun by one of the five pools or nine whirlpools. After a delicious snack or nourishing lunch at one of the resort’s six restaurants and bars, head to Jasha Spa for an afternoon of luxurious pampering. If you prefer to get your golf game on, their 27-hole golf course, which provides stunning views of the Sea of Cortés from most of the course, is the ultimate place to get some active relaxation. If celebrating with friends and family is more your style, plenty of top-notch resorts like Pueblo Bonito and Sandos Finisterra can accommodate small or large groups and offer various packages and possibilities.

Retreat

DID YOU KNOW?

The newest addition at the Hacienda Encantada Resort & Residences is the spectacular chapel, La Capilla de Nuestra Señora de Dolores, perched on a cliff overlooking the resort and the Sea of Cortés. Bishop Miguel Angel Alba Diaz of Baja California accompanied two other priests based in Cabo San Lucas to help perform a mass and bless the chapel.

DREAMY BABYMOONS

Since Cabo is for lovers, it’s no surprise that expecting parents find it the perfect location for babymoons. Esperanza Resort’s Hola Bebé package offers a dreamy, four-night stay in a casita, various spa treatments, refreshing cocktails and mocktails, a private “Night to Remember” dinner, and a maternity or paternity photo shoot. They even provide a 24/7 cravings menu for moms- and dadsto-be. The One&Only Palmilla is also well acquainted with babymoons, and their culinary staff has managed to compile a menu that’s both decadent and healthy at the same time. The resort provides easy access to Pelican Beach for an afternoon of lounging, reading, or daydreaming about the newest family member soon to arrive! For those who prefer a more active babymoon, most resorts are delighted to curate a custom experience, like a cooking class at Flora Farms or designing your own unique personal care products at their new fragrance studio, Hive. If you’re into art and culture, plan a day trip to San José del Cabo for museums and art openings.

VISIT LOS CABOS ADVENTURES

KICK UP SOME DUST, DIVE INTO THE BLUE, OR ZOOM OVER THE CANYONS ON YOUR VERY OWN ADVENTURE.

By Nick Honachefsky

From the rough and tumble arroyo pits cutting through the dusty Sierra de la Laguna mountain range to the aquamarine waters of the Sea of Cortés and everything in between, adventurous activities reveal the bounty of Baja … and not just for adrenaline junkies. Adventure choices abound for everyone, whether you’re on an extended family vacation or reunion, a romantic getaway, or a weekend trip with friends. Hiking, mountain biking, snorkeling, scuba diving, off-roading, and more — it’s all here to get your blood pumping. In addition, Los Cabos prides itself on being an inclusive destination welcoming to all and was recently given the first Queer Destinations Committed distinction from the International LGBT+ Association.

ADVENTURES ON LAND

The mere mention of the word Baja conjures up high-octane images of off-roading beach buggies jumping sky high over cactus-lined arroyo pits. Rent a genuine 4x4 Baja Racer 1000 Chenowith through Terramar and strap in with a friend for a bumpy ride you’ll never forget! More teen- and family-friendly options include ATV tours of Baja to explore the indigenous wildlife lining the dusty back roads of the outback. If you’re looking for slower transportation, Mexico Planners can organize camel trek safaris that trot you through the desert countryside, complete with tequila tasting tours and genuine Mexican lunches. True cowboys and cowgirls can ride roughshod on horseback through the desert trails and along the Pacific beachfront, galloping along the crashing waves. For a more ethereal experience, strap on your hiking boots and join a guided hike

along the desert mountains. After a bike or hike, cool off by splashing down at Fox Canyon, where a refreshing pool is fed by the rushing 40-foot waterfall, La Cola de La Zorra, “The Tail of the Fox,” cascading down the mountain cliffs. Just past the waterfall is a sweet side trip to the sleepy Rancho Ecológico Sol de Mayo for an authentic Mexican lunch.

JUST ADD WATER

Paradise is found in the waters of Los Cabos as the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortés in all its submerged splendor. Visitors may not realize there are just as many opportunities for adventure below the waves as there are above. Snorkel across an underwater panorama of colorful tropical fish as families and friends bond over the underwater majesty unfolding before their eyes. Book a snorkeling trip through Cabo Sails and Mexico Planners and hit the outof-the-way Cabo Pulmo Marine Park, where a 20,000-year-old coral reef spanning 45.7 square miles offers untouched waters and brilliant damselfish, striped sergeant majors, and social butterfly fish. Chileno Bay and Santa Maria Bay are other excellent snorkeling destinations. Rent a kayak and glide over the tranquil waters, paddling the shoreline while being serenaded by shorebirds. More advanced wetheads can get their diver down scuba diving with Terramar Travel. Sojourns to famous submarine hot spots like Neptune’s Fingers, Sand Falls, and even offshore at the El Vencedor shipwreck can put you eye to eye with mahimahi, moray eels, red snapper, and even whales among brilliant coral backdrops. Solo trippers will dig the vibe of soul surfing at world-renowned surfer hot spots like Shipwrecks, Zippers, and El Acupulquito along the East Cape, as select shops rent out surfboards by the hour. Dedicated kiteboarders can rent equipment or bring

their own to take advantage of the gusty Los Barilles winds that whip up during winter. Soft adventure opportunities abound at bustling Médano Beach, where stand-up paddle boards and WaveRunners can be rented to explore the Los Cabos Marina bay waters. Or take a quick skip across the harbor to moor up and go for a romantic walk along the golden sands at famous El Arco beaches — Lover’s Beach on the bay side and equally pretty, yet amusingly named, Divorce Beach on the Pacific side. For team building or to get in some family fun, charter a sportfishing boat through the Pisces Fleet to battle highflying mahimahi, striped marlin, grouper, and snapper right out of San Lucas.

If you’re in need of ground transportation or want to book tours and excursions while in Los Cabos, look no further than Epic Los Cabos. Not only can they provide you with a hotel shuttle at the airport upon arrival, but they also have customer service teams on-site at most hotels in the area. Looking for ATV tour? Want to ride a camel? Eager to get on a boat and see El Arco? Epic Los Cabos will guide you through the process, review your options, and help you book the perfect tour for an unforgettable experience.
