FROM TRANQUIL SEASIDE RETREATS TO HOLISTIC HAVENS, FIND YOUR INNER BALANCE AMID THE BEAUTY OF LOS CABOS.

The Conscious Explorer

By Shayne Benowitz

With 42 percent of Baja California Sur designated as a protected natural area, Los Cabos is a prime destination for ecotourism, sustainable travel, and regenerative tourism practices. The conscious explorer seeks to leave the destination better than how they found it by making a positive impact to both the environment and the local community. This type of journey goes beyond a typical vacation. Here are a few ways to support the echoes of change.

GREEN ACCOMMODATIONS: Get started by checking into one of Los Cabos’ ecofriendly hotels, which range from boutique

hotels powered by solar panels like Hotel El Ganzo to the LEED-certified Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal. Do your part by traveling with reusable water bottles and canvas totes to reduce single-use plastic waste, which is also an increasingly common practice at area hotels.

ORGANIC FARMING: Get to know the true meaning of farm-to-table cuisine and support local purveyors when you dine at a sustainable restaurant located directly on an organic farm, including El Huerto Farm to Table Restaurant at the entrance to Cabo San Lucas.

SEA TURTLE PRESERVATION: Los Cabos beaches are native nesting grounds to endangered sea turtles, and many hotels support preservation programs and involve their guests in protecting fragile nests and helping hatchlings reach the sea.

COMMUNITY INITIATIVES: Solmar Hotels & Resorts is committed to regenerative tourism through the Solmar Foundation, a nonprofit organization that gives back to the community through food distribution and job skills workshops, while also contributing to local charitable organizations. Every dollar donated is matched by the foundation for double the impact. You can get involved directly by participating in voluntourism opportunities and simply supporting local businesses while on vacation.

Celebrating Diversity

By Shayne Benowitz

Travelers from around the world are drawn to Los Cabos for its natural beauty, luxurious resorts, culinary delights, and unparalleled nightlife. It’s also an award-winning LGBTQ+ destination known for its warm hospitality and inclusivity to all. A member of the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association, Los Cabos is also Queer Destinations certified, a Gay Travel Approved destination and the recipient of multiple Gay Travel Awards.

As a top LGBTQ+ luxury destination, Los Cabos is home to a wide variety of gay-friendly resorts, restaurants, bars, and attractions. With LGBTQ+ tourism representing about 16 percent of all visitors, according to the Los Cabos

Tourism Board, the destination embraces diversity, freedom, and openness.

One of the most popular times for LGBTQ+ travel is during Los Cabos Pride in June, when the area transforms into one big celebration with events, parties, and concerts, all culminating in the Los Cabos Pride March. From drag queens to DJs, it’s a spectacular celebration that attracts roughly 10,000 revelers. And while Los Cabos’ nightlife is famously inclusive to all partygoers, Chandelier’s is the destination’s top gay club during Pride and any time of year.

Haven A GOLFER’S

Therenowned list of celebrated golf course designers just got even more impressive. Professional golfer Ernie Els and his team at Ernie Els Design have begun work on a new 18-hole golf course situated merely 15 minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas. Opening in 2026, this course is set to be the centerpiece for the expansive 860-acre oceanfront resort Oleanda Pacific Living & Golf.

The name Oleanda, which means “wave” in Spanish, perfectly captures the essence of its location nestled alongside the Pacific Ocean and framed by

the stunning desert landscape. Given its pristine natural environment, the construction of Oleanda will necessitate minimal earth movement.

“Man cannot improve upon what Mother Nature has sculpted over eons. The Oleanda golf course will stand the test of time, long outliving me. This realization fills me with immense pride,” says Els, reflecting on this project. Once complete, Oleanda Golf Links Los Cabos will be the 22nd addition to Los Cabos’ illustrious list of golf courses.

Meanwhile, construction is ongoing for the second golf course at Quivira Los Cabos, designed by Jack Nicklaus. While there isn’t a definite completion date, there’s evident progress and mounting excitement around it.

WITH HALL OF FAMER ERNIE ELS’S LATEST COURSE DESIGN, THE GOLF SCENE IN LOS CABOS IS EXPERIENCING A NEW SURGE. FOLLOW THE FAIRWAYS INTO A REGION THAT CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS UNMATCHED COURSES.

“The premier golf course at Quivira offers a remarkable layout, set across an exceptional tract of land,” says Nicklaus, hinting that the upcoming course promises to be “equally breathtaking and stunning.” This addition will meet the rising demand from the trio of existing exclusive projects: St. Regis Resort & Residences, Old Lighthouse Golf & Ocean Club, and the Alvar hillside condominiums.

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.

COURSE AWARDS AND ACCOLADES

The International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO), boasting over 2,500 members globally, has honored Los Cabos with the title of Golf Destination of the Year for 2023. This recognition places Los Cabos in the esteemed company of other renowned golfing destinations

ON-COURSE CUISINE

For most golfers, the focus stays fixed on the next shot — until the pangs of hunger begin. Golfing in Mexico, especially in Los Cabos, offers an indulgence beyond scenic fairways. Many courses in this picturesque region have transformed routine breaks into gourmet experiences with their exceptional comfort stations, often serving delectable Mexican cuisine. Typically, one can anticipate a comfort station on the front nine and another on the back nine.

Puerto Los Cabos Golf Club takes this gastronomic experience up a notch. Their culinary palapas, offering all-inclusive food and beverages, beckon golfing guests up to four times during a round. Each of these welcoming shelters features a dedicated bartender and chef, ensuring fresh flavors with a menu rotation every fortnight for an ever-evolving gourmet experience.

For those seeking a buzzing social hub, Cabo Real Golf Club stands out. Its open-air restaurant and bar double as a rendezvous point for golfers, locals, and tourists exploring San José del Cabo. With its laid-back vibes, shaded seating, and tuneful melodies, the space offers a menu brimming with culinary delights.

The allure of Cabo San Lucas Country Club transcends its fairways. It’s not just its reputation as a top-tier course that attracts visitors but also the charm of the Viva Restaurant. Whether one craves a succulent rib-eye steak or sumptuous jumbo shrimp, dining here is an experience in itself.

Patrons can choose between dining at the Cardón Restaurant or relishing a tranquil evening at the Hoyo 19 Cigar Bar’s open-air terrace.

When Dunes Course designer Davis Love III first arrived on the Diamante site, he said, “It was like pulling up to St. Andrews.” Golf on the Dunes does share some similarities with the classic links courses in Scotland and Ireland; but here, the weather is warmer, the sand is whiter, and the sea is bluer.

The result is a 7,210yard, par-72 course that spans three separate ecosystems: across windswept dunes, up through a cactus forest, and back toward the sea on the back nine. Norman also integrated indigenous grass varietals that require the least amount of water, building an eco-friendly experience that flows naturally with the landscape. solmargolf.com

TWIN DOLPHIN GOLF CLUB

Twin Dolphin Golf Club rises more than 590 feet above sea level and boasts a naturalistic layout that features sweeping views of the Sea of Cortés from every hole.

Bottom-fishing opportunities are plentiful, as small local panga and midsized charter boats glide near the rocky coastline, targeting a diverse group of bottom-dwelling fighters. The red snapper, celebrated for its mouthwatering taste, stands out as a prime catch along the shoreline. Apart from the various snapper species, the tenacious grouper is frequently caught

using chunk baits and lures trolled near the sea floor. Perhaps the most iconic fish that attracts anglers from all corners of the world is the El Gallo, or roosterfish. It’s unmistakable for its dramatic, rooster-comb-like dorsal fin that protrudes from the water as the fish chases after lures and live baits. The inshore ensemble also features species like cabrilla, jacks, and Sierra mackerel, adding variety to the angler’s haul.

Many charter boats employ a drift fishing technique, using live sardines or chunk baits on bottom-fishing rigs. In these scenarios, fish often strike with fervor, delivering a thrilling, relentless fight. When fish are particularly aggressive and feed near the water’s surface, topwater poppers and swimming lures are cast to entice a heart-stopping strike. Bottom fishing is typically most productive from April

For over four decades, the Valdez Family has been navigating the East Cape waters with an enduring passion for fishing. Their story began with the founder, Chuy Valdez, settling in Buena Vista and kindling a deep love for angling. Since then, they’ve charted courses across the Sea of Cortés and the Pacific Ocean, meticulously seeking out prime locations for deep-sea fishing, offshore expeditions, and the art of fly-fishing. Their quest revolves around prized catches like sailfish, snapper, tuna, and their personal favorite — the blue marlin — among a diverse array of aquatic species. Fishing, a bonding activity par excellence, is an expedition into the heart of the ocean's mysteries. South Baja Outfitters at Buena Vista Oceanfront & Hot Springs Resort has curated an exceptional team of seasoned captains, sailors, and devoted “panga” owners. Their collective dedication is vested in crafting unparalleled and enduring adventures for every guest. Only a seasoned local fisherman can promise you a fishing outing in Baja like no other, making every angling escapade a story to be cherished.

modest fee, they’ll prepare and serve your catch to perfection.

BIG GAME BATTLES

Offshore fishing is where the true fishing battles evoking The Old Man and the Sea happen. The pristine azure waters along the Pacific side of Land’s End and extending into the vast Sea of Cortés beckon a multitude of big-game pelagic species, drawing the entire

fishing is the striped marlin. Los Cabos proudly claims the title of the No. 1 spot globally for targeting these “stripers.”

There’s also the possibility of landing monstrous blue and black marlin, which average between 200 and 500 pounds and can even reach a staggering 1,000 pounds. Imagine the thrill of that encounter! High-end sportfishing yachts deploy tactics such as trolling with ballyhoo baits, spreader bars, and

cedar plugs to lure marlin. The prime season for marlin runs from September to mid-March, with anglers typically landing four to six marlin during a full day offshore.

If the allure of sword-faced fish doesn’t excite you, perhaps the dorado will. Also known as mahimahi or dolphinfish, these creatures in Los Cabos grow to impressive sizes, typically weighing between 30 and 60 pounds. They are primarily targeted from February through April.

The wahoo, the sleek speedsters of the ocean, can weigh up to 80 pounds, giving both anglers and their tackle a real challenge. They’re abundant during the

same months as the dorado but prefer lures trolled at 9 to 12 knots. The yellowfin tuna, a favorite for sashimi enthusiasts, swarms the same waters as marlin, dorado, and wahoo, especially from September through March.

CHOOSING A CHARTER

Charter boats in Los Cabos come fully equipped with all the necessary gear, from rods and reels to everything in between. They prioritize guests’ comfort, providing packed lunches and ensuring fridges are well stocked, making for a comfortable and unforgettable day offshore.

Whether you’re a casual visitor keen on trying something new or a seasoned angler with tight lines, Los Cabos offers sportfishing experiences tailored to all types of

42 feet, operate from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., catering primarily to billfish and offshore tuna fishing, and are priced between $1,000 and $1,400. The more luxurious 48- to 80-foot sport yachts, equipped with top-tier tackle and Seakeeper technology to ensure a steady journey, offer daylong charters spanning 30 to 60 miles and range from $3,000 to $6,000. Elite anglers with a penchant for the best can charter the 80-foot Viking sportfishing marvels, with a full day’s fishing priced between $12,000 and $15,000.

If you have a limited budget or are a solo angler, look into a more affordable “share” on a charter. Whatever your budget, there are options to get on the water to bend a rod.

Dream COASTAL

By Rick Stedman

The

ocean, the sand, and the sun — this trifecta, courtesy of Mother Nature, is why visitors continue to flock to greater Los Cabos. This southern tip of the Baja peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortés converge, is the crux of nearly 100 miles of scenic coastline fanning north and south from picturesque Land’s End.

To ensure that Los Cabos’ beaches and others around the world remain pristine and welcoming for generations to come, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), established in 1987, introduced the Blue Flag designation. This gold standard recognizes conservation efforts that comply with strict environmental,

educational, safety, and accessibility standards, guaranteeing a safe experience for visitors. In 2023, FEE awarded Blue Flag status to 4,212 beaches worldwide. Seventy-three beaches throughout Mexico received this distinguished status. In greater Los Cabos, 25 beaches will be flying blue flags for the next year.

Greater Los Cabos beaches certified with the Blue Flag distinction include Acapulquito, Chileno, Corsario, El Surgidero, Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos, Grand Velas Los Cabos, Hacienda, La Gaviota, La Ribera, Las Viudas, ME Cabo, Médano Breathless, Médano Casa Dorada, Médano Club Cascadas de Baja, Médano Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos, Médano Pueblo Bonito Rosé, Médano Riu Palace Baja California, Médano Riu Palace Los Cabos, Médano Riu Santa Fe, Médano Villa del Arco, Médano Villa Del Palmar, Médano Villa La Estancia, Palmilla, Paradisus Los Cabos, and Santa María.

CABO SAN LUCAS

Médano Beach stands out among the Blue Flag beaches in Los Cabos as the best beach for swimming. Nestled in the heart of Cabo San Lucas, this beach is conveniently located near many area resorts. For those who enjoy observing the bustling beach scene, Mango

Deck Beach Club, located directly on Médano Beach, is the spot to be. Opening its doors at 8 a.m. daily, Mango Deck serves an appetizing breakfast selection of American and Mexican dishes. Their all-day happy hour boasts a twofor-one drink special, amplified by live tunes and captivating views.

Another Médano Beach favorite is The Office on the Beach. Established in the mid-1970s, The Office remains a staple, welcoming visitors from dawn until well past dusk. Known for its relaxed and vibrant atmosphere, The Office boasts a diverse menu that covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all complemented by breathtaking vistas.

Adding to the area’s allure is Lover’s Beach, situated just across the bay, near El Arco at Land’s End. To reach this gem, visitors require a water taxi. While Lover’s Beach is nestled on the Sea of Cortés side, a short stroll through a rocky passage leads to its counterpart, Divorce Beach, on the Pacific Ocean side. Lover’s Beach promises calm waters ideal for swimming. In contrast, Divorce Beach, with its fierce waves, isn’t recommended for swimmers due to its dangerous conditions.

THE CORRIDOR

Spanning 20 miles, The Corridor links Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. This stretch

is adorned with several beaches ideal for swimming. Santa María, a revered marine sanctuary, can be found at Km. 13 along The Corridor. Enclosed within a horseshoe-shaped bay and surrounded by picturesque coves, this beach is an idyllic swimming spot. However, visitors are advised to come prepared, as amenities are limited, with only a basic dirt parking lot and a handful of beach vendors available. Still, a myriad of other beaches along The Corridor beckon exploration.

Just a stone’s throw away, also at Km. 13, is El Chileno Beach. Its captivating turquoise waters make it a prime spot for swimming and early-morning snorkeling sessions. This popular destination boasts public restrooms for visitors.

Closer to downtown Cabo San Lucas and situated at Km. 5.5 along The Corridor, Monuments Beach awaits. Though compact, it’s cherished by the surfing community. Further along at Km. 11.5, Playa Las Viudas,

also known as Widows Beach in English, showcases its beauty. While its powerful waves caution against swimming, it offers public restrooms, showers, a parking lot, lifeguards, and rentable beach umbrellas.

Playa Bledito, positioned at Km. 19.5, is another swimmable haven on The Corridor. Flanked by Meliã Cabo Real and Hilton Los Cabos, the beach has a manmade breakwater that makes it a safe swimming beach.

SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO

Punta Palmilla, situated at Km. 27, unequivocally wins the title of best spot for whale watching. Between January and March, enthusiasts can witness the majestic migration of whales. Outside of the migration season, Punta Palmilla offers serene swimming experiences for visitors.

Playa Acapulquito at Km. 28 is a surfer’s haven. Welcoming both novices and seasoned longboarders, it’s a sight to see the surfers ride the waves. For those preferring to stay dry, a prime viewing location is the nearby Cabo Surf Hotel & Spa. And for those feeling adventurous,

the Mike Doyle Surf School, housed within the hotel, offers surfing lessons and board rentals.

EAST CAPE

The quaint village of La Ribera in the East Cape is a scenic 50-minute journey from San José del Cabo. As you traverse this route, you’ll be greeted by stretches of pristine beaches, often untouched by crowds. Many liken this tranquil expanse to Cabo San Lucas three decades ago. Venturing north, many expansive beaches are dispersed along the coast, beckoning visitors for swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, and leisurely walks.

A must-visit is the Cabo Pulmo Marine Park. Here, the crystal-clear waters allow for superb swimming and some of the finest snorkeling experiences you’ll ever encounter, often enriched by the sight of vibrant fish darting close to the shoreline. The dedication to preserving this magnificent natural treasure is evident.

Whether they offer the thrill of surfing, the excitement of snorkeling, or the peace of beachcombing, these local beaches tend to be the highlights for most travelers.

Pursuits PULSEPOUNDING

By Nick Honachefsky

Putdown the margarita; it’s time to ride on the wild side. If you can peel yourself away from the lively ambience of Cabo San Lucas, you’ll discover another side of Baja — one teeming with exhilarating adventures.

Beyond the bustling atmosphere, the natural landscapes of Los Cabos beckon with unique, adrenaline-filled experiences. The rugged terrain of Baja’s Sierra de la Laguna mountains is your playground, offering adventurous pursuits — from exploring the dusty arroyo pits with dune buggies

to plodding on camel treks or mountain biking among cactus fields. Each turn unveils a new challenge, and every path tells a new story.

But the activities aren’t limited to the land. Cool off and get wet by snorkeling over breathtaking reefs at Cabo Pulmo National Park or ride the waves via surfboard, kiteboard, or kayak.

Adventures from all angles, both great and small, are available for the ultimate pulsepounding pursuit. No matter the occasion, be it a family holiday, a romantic escape, a weekend

Keep your eyes peeled for any signs of wildlife; you might just spot indigenous animals like coyotes, roadrunners, and a variety of songbirds nestled within their habitats.

For those keen on biking or hiking, outfitters like Mexico Planners have you covered with mountain biking trails and half-day hikes. These outings offer an unparalleled chance to quietly observe wildlife in its natural setting. However, an early start is recommended; by late morning, the desert’s blaring heat can become quite intense. If the sun does get to you, take a refreshing plunge in one of the waterfalls cascading off the cliffsides into cooling freshwater pools, most notably the gushing 40-foot spray of water found at Fox Canyon, known as “La Cola de La Zorra” or “The Tail of the Fox.” Just past the waterfall is a sweet side hike trip to the Rancho Ecológico Sol de Mayo, where you can order up an authentic Mexican lunch complete with a refreshing beer. You don’t have to stay tethered to the ground either, as exhilarating zip-lining, skydiving, and rappelling tours off the mountainside cliff faces truly give a mind-blowing view of the spectacular Desert Park Ecological Preserve backdrop.

TAKE THE PLUNGE

They say water is the elixir of life; if that’s the case, you’ll live a full one in Los Cabos. Waterborne action abounds both on top of and below the water’s surface. Prepare to be captivated by Los Cabos’ pristine

And they always say in Los Cabos that the sky’s the limit; no more so is that true, as kiteboarding junkets will have you hitting waves launching you above, hovering

The Rural Side of Los Cabos

Beyond the hustle and bustle of Los Cabos lies a tranquil side that calls for exploration. Venture to the quaint towns of Miraflores and Santiago, which offer a snapshot of the region’s rich agriculture, picturesque views of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, and myriad nature trails — all just an hour’s drive away from Los Cabos. These towns boast artisanal shops displaying intricate leatherwork and handcrafted treasures. If relaxation is on your agenda, soak in the local hot springs. Set aside a day to experience the rural side of Los Cabos and explore the indigenous pueblos.

You don’t have to get wet to enjoy the water or revel in the beauty of marine life. Kayak rentals and tours through Mexico Planners or Epic Group are available to paddle in and around the reefs for a refreshing workout while observing maritime wildlife. For an even more placid experience, stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) allows you to feel more connected to the water with each passing paddle glide. If you prefer to indulge in the many boating opportunities, charter your own private yacht, sailboat, or catamaran from Cabo Sails and partake in

myriad activities while gliding along the Sea of Cortés in style. Enjoy a premium open bar with top-shelf liquor and cold beer as you sail among spectacular vistas, basking in the cool sea breezes and admiring the stunning orange glow of the sunset.

One of Mexico’s most revered healing rituals simultaneously treats up to a halfdozen individuals — and it’s performed in the dark. Steeped in heritage, the ancient temazcal steam lodge ceremony draws on the powers of water, fire, earth, and air to deliver purification and balance.

Performed within a small dome-shaped chamber made of mud or stone, the highly

personalized process is typically guided by a Curandero spiritual healer. As the body releases toxins through sweating, the soul renews and awakens through wisdom passed down for generations.

Beyond temazcal, Mexican folk healing is perpetuated as native healers honor the cultural practices of their ancestors by merging organic herbs, massages, and techniques. Curative approaches bolster well-being today by following customs practiced for over 1,000 years.

Areyou considering a real estate investment but unsure about the ideal location for you and your family? Los Cabos offers exceptional investment opportunities suitable for every taste and budget. Below, we delve into various areas of the region to aid your decision. Whether you’re seeking a permanent residence or a dreamy vacation home to share with loved ones, Los Cabos and its neighboring areas have unique possibilities.

CABO SAN LUCAS

Cabo San Lucas, commonly referred to as Cabo, is a resort city nestled at the very tip of the Baja peninsula. This is home to the renowned rock formations known as Land’s

End. The magnificent El Arco, sculpted by years of wind and wave erosion, stands today as one of the region’s most iconic landmarks. A trip to Cabo San Lucas isn’t complete without a photo by the arch, and what better way to capture this moment than aboard a luxury yacht? Of the numerous yacht charter companies, Pisces Sportfishing shines as the most esteemed. This region is celebrated for its sportfishing, attributed to its prime location at the junction of the Sea of Cortés and the Pacific Ocean. While numerous worldclass tournaments are held here annually, the crown jewel is undoubtedly the

Bisbee’s Black and Blue. And, of course, Cabo San Lucas is synonymous with exquisite dining and lively nightlife. The city pulses with music, nightclubs, bars, and the vibrant energy of its people.

SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO

San Jose del Cabo boasts a rich tapestry of history and culture. The Pericú, some of the first inhabitants, were skilled fishermen, hunters, and gatherers. They showcased expertise in using fire, crafting sharp arrow tips for their spears from stone, and boat building, marking them as accomplished sailors. Originally named “Puerto de San Bernabe” by Sebastián Vizcaíno, the city became a pivotal stopping point for ships from Asia. Known for its freshwater sources, ships replenished their reserves at the San José del Cabo estuary before their journey to Acapulco. Famously referred to as “Aguada

Segura” (or “safe water” in old Spanish), the estuary continues to be a freshwater haven, now teeming with diverse bird species.

The historic heart of San José del Cabo, its downtown, draws visitors with its vibrant art galleries and restaurants. If you yearn for a traditional Mexican ambience and the allure of age-old houses transformed into chic art galleries, boutique stores, and fine dining establishments, then San José del Cabo is your destination. A notable tradition, the Art Walk, was introduced a few years ago. Every Thursday during peak season, the downtown streets are closed to vehicles, becoming the backdrop for an enchanting evening where visitors and locals stroll around, often indulging in complimentary tequila or wine tastings at the galleries.

There is nothing like a Pisces Luxury Collection beachfront vacation villa.

Villa Cielito del Mar is the last remaining original Chileno Bay estate from Baja’s Golden Age. An iconic, two-acre residence nestled into the rocks of Chileno Bay Cove, it was designed by famed mid-twentieth-century architect Cliff May. This stunning eight-bedroom villa has recently undergone an extensive remodeling that has added to its beauty and comfort. Cielito del Mar is dotted with secluded, serene hideaways and boasts its own private beach.

The Corridor, a scenic 33-mile stretch of highway, boasts an array of investment prospects, luxurious hotels, and upscale golf communities.

THE CORRIDOR

Linking the two vibrant towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo is The Corridor, a scenic 33-mile stretch of highway boasting an array of investment prospects, luxurious hotels, and upscale golf communities. Along this route, you’ll fine pristine beaches such as Chileno Bay, a favored spot for day-trippers. For surf enthusiasts, The Corridor doesn’t disappoint with numerous prime surfing locations. Costa Azul, a notable spot among these, annually hosts the Los Cabos Surf Open. Additionally, tennis fans can anticipate the Los Cabos Tennis Open held yearly at the Solaz Sports Complex, another event highlight along The Corridor.

THE EAST CAPE

North of San José del Cabo, skirting the Sea of Cortés coastline, lies the illustrious East Cape. This region boasts pristine beaches, renowned surf breaks, quaint fishing towns, and idyllic camping sites. A standout is Cabo Pulmo, a national park offering unparalleled snorkeling and scuba diving experiences. Kite surfing, along with other water sports, also enjoys popularity here.

Whether you’re seeking a permanent residence or a dreamy vacation home to share with loved ones, Los Cabos and its neighboring areas have unique possibilities.

Courtesy of Pisces Collection (4)

In recent years, the East Cape has attracted the eyes of various developers, leading to the blossoming of offthe-grid beachfront homes. For instance, Grupo Vidanta is spearheading an ambitious project just a 15-minute drive north of San José del Cabo’s marina. Heading further north, La Ribera emerges as a rapidly developing town, hosting eminent establishments like The Four Seasons and Aman Hotel and Residences. Los Barriles, another fishing town, has shed its once-quiet demeanor while still garnering significant attention, especially for the annual Los Barriles offshore fishing tournament.

If the allure of the untouched beckons, then the East Cape presents a golden investment opportunity. While parts of it remain in development, offering secluded retreats to disconnect from the urban hustle, there are also wellequipped, serene areas perfect for beach relaxation, surfing, snorkeling, horseback riding, gastronomic delights, hiking, and so much more.

THE PACIFIC SIDE

Heading out of Cabo San Lucas toward La Paz, the serene area of Migriño greets you first. Continue a 40-minute drive, and the quaint towns of Pescadero and Cerritos unfold. Although tranquil and sparsely populated, these towns have seen steady growth over recent years, offering an array of experiences. From turtle releases (seasonal) and surf breaks to swimmable beach spots, ATV trails, hiking paths, spas, and a wealth of farm-to-table restaurants, there’s no shortage of activities. The emphasis on farm-to-table dining has roots in the town’s rich agricultural heritage, thanks to the water flowing down from the Sierra. This abundance of fresh produce has captivated contemporary chefs, leading to various culinary delights using the freshest fruits and vegetables.

Todos Santos is the largest of these towns. It houses the famous Hotel California, where “you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” The town exudes a bohemian charm, making it a haven for artists and writers worldwide. If you yearn for a peaceful retreat to construct your dream home, removed from the urban cacophony yet still conveniently close to tourist hubs, then the Pacific side offers an impeccable choice.

With an insatiable passion for personal growth, Chef Sébastien possesses the vision and determination to inspire others to achieve excellence.

“I was captivated and motivated by Mexican gastronomy and decided to take on the greatest challenge of my professional life, to open my own restaurant,” says Chef Sébastien.

As a multi-skilled executive chef, Sébastien Agnès journeyed across the globe, honing his skills at renowned hotels and restaurants around the world.

Distintivo H is a Mexico Tourism Board quality certification program for restaurants and hotel kitchens based on regular inspections to review hygiene standards and food handling and storage facilities.

The talented chef is one of only 12 Master Chefs in Mexico, as recognized by the Maîtres Cuisiniers de France Association. His international experiences led him to a serendipitous opportunity in 2008. He was entrusted with the task of developing Market Restaurant at the luxurious One&Only Palmilla in San José del Cabo. His undeniable talent saw him promoted to the restaurant’s executive chef just two years later. His culinary journey did not stop there.

Chef Sébastien showcased his expertise as the executive chef at SEARED, an upscale steakhouse at One&Only Palmilla. Later, he took on the role of culinary director at Maravilla, an exclusive private club in Los Cabos. But it was in 2021 when his dreams culminated in the opening of Bistro by Sébastien Agnès.

“We are the only restaurant in Los Cabos with the Distintivo H award,” says Chef Sébastien.

While Bistro is distinguished as the sole restaurant in the area boasting a French Maître Cuisinier, it has also garnered acclaim on Tripadvisor, being ranked among the top five dining establishments in Los Cabos. Most recently, the restaurant was nominated in the Best New Restaurant in Mexico category in Food and Travel Magazine's 2023 Reader Awards.

“We could say it’s a Baja-French style where I put my personal stamp on each dish in order to deliver the best product to diners, who are more knowledgeable and demanding every day,” says Chef Sébastien. Though the menu is ever-changing and evolving, he still has a favorite dish. “I love the classics like mussels mariniere and risotto lobster with fresh truffles,” he says.

EXPERIENCE LOS CABOS GASTRONOMY THROUGH ITS FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATE THE REGION’S RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE.

Festivities Abound

By Rick Stedman

In Mexico, the Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, is a revered occasion. Celebrated on Nov. 1–2, the annual event is the most popular celebration in Los Cabos. This event seamlessly interweaves ancient pre-Hispanic rituals and Christian

traditions. Contemporary commemorations align with the Catholic Church’s observance of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, typically marked around the fall maize harvest season. Far from somber, this festival vibrates with life, bridging generations with the belief that, for these two

The San José Art Walk takes place every Thursday evening from November through June, kicking off during the week of Día de los Muertos. San José del Cabo transforms its central avenues into an artisanal promenade where local artisans showcase their paintings, jewelry, crafts, and gastronomic creations. Meanwhile, the city’s esteemed art galleries extend their hours for public admiration. This art fest is the perfect opportunity to take home a one-of-a-kind sugar skull, hand-painted mezcal jicaras, or intricate folk art figurines to honor ancestral legacies. When you’ve finished admiring all the local talent, feast on delicious dishes at one of the myriad restaurants in town.

Revelry EVENING

The

vibrant nightlife of this Mexican paradise beckons like a siren call. After a day of exploring, embrace the magic of Los Cabos after dark where a new world of excitement emerges under the cover of night.

The Rooftop at The Cape, A Thompson Hotel, comes alive when the sun goes down. This open-air oasis offers sweeping views of El Arco and the twinkling lights of Cabo San Lucas. The ambience is accentuated with sunken seating areas, a warming fire pit, and tranquil water views. The mixologists create

handcrafted cocktails and serve up artisanal beers from the local region. Try The Cape, a mixture of basil and mint–infused mezcal, pineapple, lemon, grapefruit, and angostura bitters; a Sunset Spritz made with prosecco,

Aperol, St-Germain, and orange; or an Herbal Espresso Martini that combines espresso, Nixta, Żubrówka vodka, and angostura bitters. Appetizers include shrimp popcorn or an heirloom tomato salad. There are also several main courses, but the Rooftop double cheeseburger is always a big hit.

The Mango Deck on Médano Beach, in the heart of Cabo San Lucas, boasts an incredible view of Lover’s Beach and the famous El Arco. Open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, Mango Deck is popular throughout the day but kicks it up a notch after sundown. The true essence of Mango Deck, loved by both locals and visitors, is its vibrant live entertainment. Their roster boasts an eclectic mix: Sundays resonate with the melodies of The Mango Show orchestra, Mondays groove to the RNB Band, Tuesdays serenade with soft rock and beloved tunes from the ’80s, while on Wednesday and Thursday rock takes center stage. Every Friday, you can listen to ’80s and ’90s rock; and a violinist performs on Saturday nights.

The Baja Brewing Company offers more than just a refreshing pint; it’s an experience. With two prime locations — the rooftop of Cabo Villas Beach Resort at Médano Beach and along the art district in San José del Cabo — it’s no wonder it’s a favorite hangout for visitors and locals alike. Baja Brewing Company serves finely crafted beers and refined pub fare in a casually elegant and fun setting. Popular pours include Cabotella, a German-style lager, and Cactus Wheat, a Bavarian-style Weissbier.

Canvas CULTURAL

By Dawna L. Robertson

Long

celebrated for its rich heritage and abundant natural wonders, Los Cabos today garnishes enduring traditions with trendy soirees nodding to gastronomy, cinema, and music. A thriving arts and culture scene continues to garner buzz as it paints a canvas flourishing from authentic to eclectic.

From stucco missions and museums to fine art galleries showcasing local, national, and international works, visitors encounter boundless opportunities to discover firsthand why the tip of the Baja peninsula tops bucket lists.

DISCOVER LOS CABOS’S BEAUTIFUL BALANCE OF TRADITION AND TREND, WHERE TIMELESS HERITAGE MEETS THE VIBRANT TAPESTRY OF ART, MUSIC, AND FESTIVITIES.

BAJA’S HEART OF ART

The colonial gem of San José del Cabo emits a laid-back charm, distinguishing it from the highspirited Cabo San Lucas. Yet, from November through June, the quaint town’s cobblestone streets surge with hoopla during the wildly popular Thursday Art Walk.

Tucked behind the historic main square, centuries-old homes and shops have been revitalized as the Gallery District of San José del Cabo. Emerging from a collaboration of 14 major galleries, the heart of art in Baja California finds casual patrons and aficionados strolling the streets to mingle amid curators and artisans, sharing insight on creative expressions.

A fusion of musical genres and culinary artistry further fuels this visual feast, best enjoyed with locally brewed beers and handcrafted margaritas.

Among the cultural haven’s most celebrated, “Living Master” Frank Arnold flaunts a superb collection of bronze sculptures and distinctive abstracts in his namesake gallery and working studio. Across the cobblestone, Frank Arnold Plaza is adorned with a splendid collection of his sculptures, ranging from quarter-life scale to the imposing 24-foot Alma de Cabo.

Sharing eclectic works from over 20 emerging and established North American talents, swank Galería de Ida Victoria is an assemblage of original pieces in mixed styles

and techniques. Peruse limited-edition prints, sculptures, original paintings, and other intriguing concepts by Lorena Becerra, Charles Barth, Lorna Hankins, Angel Velasco, Nancy Brazil, and Ignacio Guerrero.

If your visit is out of sync with the Art Walk schedule, go solo to ogle handcrafted regional folk art and blown glass, gorgeous Mata Ortiz pottery from Chihuahua, Neo-Zapotec handpainted woodcarvings from Oaxaca, and intricate beaded Huichol art from Nayarit and Jalisco.

On the site of the former Misión San José del Cabo Anuití, the Iglesia de San José church is considered a masterpiece. The landmark is revered for its dramatic bell towers, colorful mosaics, and traditional artwork. Also enhancing the lush cultural scene is El Triunfo Museum and Museum of Contemporary Art, which exhibit compositions by Mexican and international artists. Live entertainment also shares the creative stage during the San José del Cabo Festival in February and the San José del Cabo Jazz Weekend Concert Series in May.

AN ARTISTIC COMMUNITY

Sprawling along the foothills of the rugged Sierra de la Laguna mountains on the

peninsula’s Pacific Coast, the bohemian town of Todos Santos is a captivating blend of history and culture — old haciendas and restored colonial buildings now house owneroccupant art galleries, boutique hotels, and imaginative eateries.

Translating to “All Saints,” Todos Santos is one of three dozen Mexican towns meriting the prestigious Pueblo Mágico designation. Each “Magical Town” is selected for its cultural wealth, natural beauty, and historical relevance.

A melting pot of multigenerational farmers, U.S. expats, artists, musicians, filmmakers, and surfers, this charming hamlet still manages to retain an authentic Baja flavor, where the past is never overshadowed by the present.

Housed in a former schoolhouse with a pleasant central courtyard, Todos Santos Centro Cultural showcases nationalist and revolutionary murals painted by socialist students inspired by their compatriots Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.

On Plaza de Armas, the Misión de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, built by Jesuits in 1723 and dedicated to the Virgin of Pilar, stands tall. Often referred to as the “Todos Santos Mission Church,” this relic remains the town’s religious

heart with its sweeping ocean view. The Todos Santos Regional History Museum delves deeper into heritage through five distinctive areas: old town photography, contemporary photography, Pinacoteca, regional history, and a ranch house replica.

ART AND SOUL OF CABO SAN LUCAS

Contrary to its reputation, Cabo San Lucas isn’t just a bustling tourist hot spot — it also caters to those keen on understanding the town’s heart and soul, especially at the Museum of Natural History of Cabo San Lucas.

Nestled within the verdant confines of Plaza Amelia Wilkes, the museum shares its space with the family-centered “Viva La Plaza.” This event amplifies Cabo San Lucas’ lively atmosphere every Friday from 5 to 9 p.m.

Given that the city lacks a designated gallery district, this charming environment, complete with its central bandstand gazebo, transforms into a bustling street festival. Here, artisans proudly display their handmade creations, accompanied by folkloric music, dance, and traditional cuisine. Painters, sculptors, and jewelers offer unique pieces, while tourists delight in local street foods, eagerly anticipating the ever-changing evening performances.

Over at the marina, the 700-seat Cultural Pavilion of the Republic presents dance and theater productions. Additionally, a smattering of art galleries find their place among the myriad shops in the Puerto Paraíso mall.

Every November, the city comes alive with the Los Cabos International Film Festival. Since its inaugural event in 2012, this cinematic extravaganza has been bridging the gap between the American, Canadian, and Mexican film industries. The eightday festival is filled with screenings, panel discussions, workshops, competitions, and elegant soirees, drawing the attention of film industry luminaries.

Story A LOVE With

ENCHANTING LOS CABOS IS THE PERFECT DESTINATION TO CELEBRATE YOUR NUPTIALS, CREATE UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES, AND FALL IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN.

sun-kissed beaches, world-class resorts, turquoise waters, awe-inspiring views as far as the eye could see, and vibrant desert blooms, the beauty of this coastal paradise serves as the perfect backdrop for your love story. Simply put, romance and Los Cabos go hand in hand; so it’s no wonder the area has become such a popular destination for weddings. Whether it’s a beachside ceremony at a hacienda-style resort or a sophisticated rooftop reception with sweeping views of the Sea of Cortés, Los Cabos and the surrounding towns set the scene for magical wedding celebrations.

LAVISH AFFAIRS

Situated on the Sea of Cortés and decked out in pink stucco and orange terra-cotta, Hacienda del Mar Resort Los Cabos makes for a picture-perfect destination wedding. With multiple venues, the resort can accommodate everything from the most intimate of ceremonies to lavish affairs of over 800 guests. Their wedding team handles all the logistics, including launching a dedicated booking webpage. Choose from the resort’s white-sand beach, oceanfront patio or romantic chapel to say, “I do.” For cocktail hour and reception, there’s the Palapa Fiesta lawn, al fresco restaurants, and elegant banquet halls. Their catering team works with fresh, local ingredients and can accommodate special menus for guests with dietary preferences.

When “heart” is the name of the resort, it’s no wonder Corazón Cabo Resort & Spa has mastered the art of the Los Cabos destination wedding. Their seasoned planners handle every detail, from menu selection to décor, entertainment, and important paperwork. From intimate elopements to blowout bashes, Corazón sets the scene with romantic ceremonies on the beach to elegant receptions at their stunning Rooftop 360 with dramatic views of Land’s End and El Arco. Their customizable wedding packages are designed to bring your unique vision to life and accommodate parties of all sizes. The resort is also an ideal destination for bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and romantic honeymoons.

How to Get Married in Mexico

When getting married in a foreign country, it’s necessary to think through logistics and legalities. Here are some basic pointers for couples looking to get married in Mexico.

You can opt for a civil ceremony, which is performed by a judge who conducts the wedding in Spanish. It is recognized as a legal union worldwide, but you have to get blood tests, fill out paperwork, and provide four witnesses — all over the age of 18.

Alternately, you can arrange a religious ceremony with a Catholic church; but either the bride or groom must be Catholic, and the proceedings must begin at the couple’s home church in the home country. Once all marital requirements have been satisfied there, all the paperwork must be sent to Mexico at least 90 days prior to the date of the event. A religious ceremony is performed by a Catholic priest and can only take place at a Catholic church.

The most popular way to get married in Mexico is by holding a symbolic blessing or commitment ceremony. This type of service does not change legal marital status. Most who choose this route get married in a civil ceremony either before or after their Los Cabos event. Because there are no legal or religious requirements, the symbolic ceremony is readily customizable.

Mexican Wedding Traditions

By Vanessa Molina Santamaria

IEMBRACE THE RICH TAPESTRY OF THE LOCAL

CULTURE

BY INFUSING YOUR WEDDING WITH UNIQUE LOCAL TRADITIONS.

n this picturesque coastal haven, weddings often incorporate ageold customs, adding an authentic touch to your special day. From the symbolic El Lazo ceremony to the vibrant mariachi bands serenading the celebration, Mexican traditions bring an enchanting essence to weddings.

Delve into the local culture and discover the meaningful rituals that can elevate your wedding, creating cherished memories that blend tradition and love. The traditional lasso ceremony, known as El Lazo, is a cherished ritual deeply embedded in Mexican wedding customs. It symbolizes the everlasting bond and unity between the couple, reminiscent of an unbreakable tie that holds them together throughout their marriage. During the

ceremony, a silk cord, or lasso, is elegantly draped around the shoulders of the bride and groom in a figure-eight shape. The loops signify their eternal commitment and the infinite love they share and is kept in the couple’s home after the ceremony.

Typically, the lasso is presented by the Madrina and Padrino — or godmother and godfather — chosen by the couple. The Madrina and Padrino are typically close relatives or friends of the bride and groom selected to be at the heart of the wedding. The honor bestowed upon them to present the lasso is a sign of respect, trust, and the pivotal role they play in supporting the newlyweds in their marital journey. This ritual is a poignant moment during the wedding, representing the couple becoming one in God’s eyes.

In Mexican culture, mariachi music is an essential and vibrant component of traditional

wedding celebrations, infusing festivities with exuberance and heartfelt emotion. Mariachi bands, composed of skilled musicians typically clad in elaborate, colorful attire, bring the joyous and lively melodies of Mexico to life. These ensembles serenade the newlyweds and their guests, creating an atmosphere of merriment and unity, and often accompany key moments in the wedding. For instance, they may play hymns or religious songs during the ceremony and then more festive tunes during the reception to get everyone on the dance floor. The spirited music and heartfelt lyrics convey the celebration of love, cultural heritage, and a sense of community, making it a beloved tradition in Mexican weddings.There are other special dances you can incorporate into

your celebration as well, some of which hold significant cultural symbolism and add a touch of entertainment to the festivities. One such dance is the Vibora de la Mar, or the sea snake dance, where the couple forms an arch with their arms, representing the ebb and flow of life’s challenges and victories. Friends and family then take turns passing through and dancing under the arch. The sea snake dance embodies unity and the community’s support for the newlyweds as they embark on their life together. There’s also a money dance where guests will pay a dollar (or more) to dance with the bride or groom. It’s an opportunity to spend one-on-one time with them and to shower the couple with blessings, well-wishes, and financial support to start their new life as a married couple.

Fun Fact

Mexican wedding cookies are delicate, crumbly, buttery cookies made with a few simple ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, ground nuts (often almonds or pecans), and sometimes a hint of vanilla. They’re often rolled in powdered sugar, giving them a snowy appearance. Despite the name, these cookies are not typically served at weddings, but they do make appearances in some celebrations.

Bright

lights and bustling streets fade against the backdrop of the serene and naturally captivating towns that capture the essence of Baja California. A day’s wander through the charming, cobbled streets of these pueblos offers a deep connection with the spirit of the local community. Los Cabos’ true treasures are nestled in these quaint, scenic towns. Here are a few destinations to add to your itinerary.

MIRAFLORES

Journey along the Tourist Corridor for about 25 miles from Los Cabos into the heart of the region until you reach the serene pueblo of Miraflores, aptly named “look at the flowers.” Nestled beneath the gaze of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, Miraflores, with its population of just over 1,000, exudes an intimate charm. The streets come alive with artisan leather makers showcasing their exquisite crafts, offering visitors a blend of

shopping, natural beauty, and adventure.

SANTIAGO

Located 30 miles north of Los Cabos, Santiago’s history began in 1723 with a mission founded by an Italian padre. Its streets, alive with authentic cowboys riding on horseback, reflect the rustic heritage of Baja. Serving as a testament to the agricultural roots of Baja, Santiago’s farmers supply many of the fruits, vegetables, and meats relished in Los Cabos’ premier restaurants. The local museum houses

various colonial artifacts and fossils from nearby mountainsides, boasting finds like shark teeth and ammonites. A visit to the bustling Sol de Mayo, close to Fox Canyon, is incomplete without witnessing the breathtaking 40-foot freshwater waterfall, La Cola de La Zorra, or “The Tail of the Fox,” which plunges into a cool, inviting spring pool. When visiting Santiago, indulge in an immersive, organic adventure at Rogelio’s Ranch. Here, you’ll delve into Baja’s rich botanical diversity, discovering its ancestral medicinal applications and mastering the art of leatherwork. All of this unfolds amid the backdrop of La Sierra de la Laguna, treating you to a mesmerizing and picturesque view.

TODOS SANTOS

No other town boasts such a vibrant display of artistry as Todos Santos. Just an hour’s drive north of Cabo San Lucas on Highway 19 along the Pacific coast, Todos Santos brims with artisan shops presenting remarkable local artworks. Its cozy restaurants serve authentic Mexican dishes in a tranquil ambience, becoming a muse for artists, musicians, filmmakers, and chefs alike. For

those considering an overnight visit, Hotel San Cristóbal Baja stands as a white-stucco haven at the juncture of the golden Sierra de la Laguna mountains and the shimmering Pacific Ocean. Named after the patron saint of travelers, surfers, and sailors, this 32-room boutique hotel is centered around an oceanfront swimming pool, providing guests with a serene retreat infused with luxury.

EL TRIUNFO

Celebrated for its rich history in silverwork, the brick facades of El Triunfo echo the opulence of the region’s silver mining era. Wander through its picturesque streets and savor the local cuisine with the best paella in Baja during Paella Sunday at El Triunfo. Don’t miss the chance to explore their famous piano museum, housing instruments brought from all around the world. It’s a unique experience

that you will not want to miss. And before you depart, a visit to the Rosario Cactus Sanctuary is a must — this 138-acre nature reserve proudly displays Baja’s towering cacti.

SAN ANTONIO

Home to fewer than 500 residents, San Antonio is undeniably a haven for solitude, simplicity, and tranquility. Echoing El Triunfo, its silver mining heritage provides captivating settings for timeless photographs — from deserted mines to the iconic church temple bearing its name. Immerse yourself in the laid-back vibes as you meander through the historic lanes.

EAST CAPE

One of the crowning jewels of the East Cape’s serene expanse is the Cabo Pulmo Marine Park. It is the proud protector of North America’s sole living hard coral reef — a 20,000-year-old natural marvel spanning 45.75 square miles. This underwater haven teems with playful dolphins, majestic breaching whales, and a vibrant ecosystem that boasts over 300 species of tropical fish and 2,000 invertebrates. Just a brief drive north of Los Cabos on the picturesque Highway 1 transports you to the heart of the East Cape’s Costa Azul region. Here, the ocean’s irresistible allure tempts surfers to chase that dream wave. For a rejuvenating experience, the Buena Vista Oceanfront & Hot Springs Resort offers the perfect retreat. Surrender to the revitalizing embrace of hot springs that cascade directly from the mountains, refreshing both body and spirit.

exuding refined elegance. The town’s zocalo, or main square, reflects the heartbeat of Baja’s cultural and political essence. There, one can discover the exquisite Velasco Garden, the Museum of Anthropology, and the Cathedral de Nuestra Señora de la Paz — constructed in 1861 by Dominican priests and adorned with artwork salvaged from ancient missions. Just a short 10-minute journey from La Paz is the pristine, 31-square-mile island of Espíritu Santo. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this uninhabited sanctuary remains untouched, preserving its state from when the first humans graced its

lands over 40,000 years ago. While in La Paz, be sure to visit Mezcla for a global shopping adventure. Featuring collections from Italy, France, Spain, Greece, and Mexico, the store boasts the perfect fusion of fashion, colors, textures, and culture so you can create unique combinations of iconic and timeless pieces for your home and wardrobe.

an ancient mission, welcoming locals, family-run accommodations, eateries, and panoramic vistas of the Gulf. Yet, in this serene town, nature takes center stage. Here, cacti outnumber residents, painting an image of tranquility. Not just the town, but the surrounding six islands and Loreto Bay have been deemed a national marine park and earned a nod from UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Loreto offers it all, whether you’re keen on sportfishing, diving, snorkeling, or kayaking.

COMONDÚ

Spanning a vast portion of Baja California Sur, the municipality of Comondú predominantly stretches along the Pacific Ocean side of the peninsula. A significant draw to this region is Misión San José de Comondú, which houses one of the pioneering missions from

the mission trail. A brief journey southward unveils the mesmerizing waters of Magdalena Bay, a haven for witnessing gray whales nurture their calves during their annual winter migration. Both Puerto San Carlos and Puerto Lopez Mateos present a plethora of marine activities — be it snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, surfing, boating, or camping. For bird-watchers, Duck Island offers a splendid avian spectacle. Meanwhile, surf aficionados will find Scorpion Bay in San Juanico irresistible, boasting one of the world’s longest waves and a top-tier surf break in Baja.

MULEGÉ

LORETO'S CROWN JEWEL

Every winter, the majestic blue whales — the mightiest beings ever to grace our planet — make their annual sojourn to Loreto Bay.

Venturing further north, curious travelers are in for a once-in-a-lifetime discovery: the rock art and cave paintings near Mulegé. These prehistoric sites, some as old as 7,500 years, are scattered across the peninsula. While a few are conveniently accessible, most demand the expertise of a knowledgeable guide. For those seeking a deeper dive into history, embark on a thrilling overnight camping journey into the mountains, led by burros and trained guides.

Nestled in 55 acres of palm-shaded gardens, this legendary retreat features one of the few swimmable beaches in Los Cabos. Graceful hacienda-style abodes are artfully angled toward the sea, framing breathtaking views from its 174 rooms and suites, as well as two exclusive and iconic villas. Each space is carefully curated with Mexican ceramics and artwork, creating welcoming retreats with their dedicated hosts to cater to every whim or request.

Designed by renowned Mexican architect Miguel Angel Aragonés, the resort is a modernist dream organized around a central liquid courtyard cascading to the beach where catwalks connect whitewashed guest rooms to swimming pools, dining venues, and the spa. Don’t skip Nido for ceviche and sushi beneath a chic bird’s nest-like dome or Cielomar Rooftop for sunset cocktails.

At Nobu Hotel Los Cabos, celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s haute Japanese cuisine takes center stage in a dining room on the sands of El Suspiro Beach, where the chef’s signature miso black cod is lapped up alongside stunning oceanfront views.

Info TIPS &

LOCATION: Los Cabos refers to two towns — Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo — found at the end of Baja California Sur, about 1,000 miles south of San Diego, CA.

CLIMATE: Located just south of the Tropic of Cancer, Los Cabos is a subtropical desert. In the summer, highs can reach 90° F; and there are sporadic showers. Winter evenings see the thermometer drop to 60° F, with daytime highs near 80° F.

TIME ZONE: Los Cabos is on Mountain Time (MT) — one hour ahead of Pacific Time.

LANGUAGE: In Mexico, Spanish is the official language; but English is widely spoken throughout Los Cabos, especially by those within the hospitality industry.

ELECTRICITY: 120 volts/60 hertz. Electrical outlets are the same as those used in the U.S.

BANKS AND CURRENCY: The official unit of currency is the Mexican peso (MXN), but the U.S. dollar (USD) is widely accepted. All major Mexican national banks are represented in the destination and are usually open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Many

Clockwise: Courtesy of One&Only Resorts (2); Courtesy of Los Cabos CVB

branches have ATMs that accept U.S. bank cards just as they do in the U.S. Keep in mind, transaction fees may be higher; and some ATMs can dispense both Mexican pesos and U.S. dollars. While you can exchange dollars for pesos at the airport, any bank, and many hotels, the banks will usually have the best rates. Credit cards are welcome at most major restaurants and hotels. When using your credit card, the statement total will appear in pesos at the exchange rate posted on that day.

EXCHANGE RATE: At press time, one Mexican peso is equal to $0.05 USD. This rate fluctuates, so check it closer to your travel date and when you arrive.

COMMUNICATION: Most major wireless carriers offer packages that provide messaging, calling, and data services at reasonable rates. Check with your provider and ask about roaming rates in Mexico, international package options, and other travel-related services prior to your trip. The internet works quite well throughout Los Cabos, and Wi-Fi is a standard amenity at many businesses and most hotels and resorts; so Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp, and other Wi-Fi–enabled apps are a cost-effective means of communication

To call the U.S. from your U.S. cell phone, dial 00 + 1 + area code + phone number.

To call local landlines, just dial the sevendigit phone number.

To call cell phones (within the same area code), dial 044 + phone number.

To call Mexico outside of Los Cabos, dial 01 +area code + phone number.

GETTING AROUND

Red and yellow taxi vans operate in San José del Cabo; blue and green vans cruise Cabo San Lucas. They are available 24 hours a day and are never far. You can expect to pay $50–60 USD to get from one town to the other. Buses run regularly and cost $2–3 USD, depending on the exchange rate. Accounting for stops at major hotels along The Corridor, the ride between the towns can take about an hour. Uber is also available.

AIRPORT & TRAVEL DETAILS

To enter Mexico, you need a valid passport. All foreign travelers must pass through immigration and customs. Once you have been cleared by immigration officials, collect your luggage and proceed to customs, where you push a button on something that looks a lot like a traffic light; if the light turns red, your luggage has been selected for inspection. After getting through customs and immigration, you may walk past time-share salespeople eager for your attention.

Unless you’ve arranged pickup with your hotel, yellow and white mini shuttles are a good option. They are less expensive than taxis, but they won’t depart unless full, so you may find yourself waiting a few minutes.

Cab drivers and other prearranged transportation providers have a designated waiting area just outside.

Just 20 minutes north of San José del Cabo, the Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) services more than 400 domestic, international, and private flights weekly. At press time, the following airlines offered flights to Los Cabos: Aeroméxico, Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Calafia Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Magnicharters, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, Sunwing, United Airlines, VivaAerobús, Volaris, and WestJet.

Nonstop flights and connections to Los Cabos are available from numerous cities across the U.S., including Atlanta; Charlotte; Chicago; Dallas/Fort Worth; Denver; Detroit; Houston; Kansas City, Mo.; Minneapolis; Newark; Phoenix; Salt Lake City; and Seattle. From California, there are flights and connections available from Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco,

and San Jose. From Canada, there are flights available from Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna, Toronto, Vancouver, and Winnipeg.

The smaller, less frequented Cabo San Lucas International Airport (CSL) is located just 10 minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas and primarily services private aircraft.
