LOCATION
Los Cabos is located on the southernmost tip of the Baja California
Peninsula. The Corridor facing the Sea of Cortez is between Km.
3 and 29 of the highway that joins the tourist centers of San
José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. As the highway runs parallel
to the coast on this section, during the whole trip you can see
the lovely soft and white sand beaches, the desert and lush mountain
ranges and the peaceful waters of the Sea of Cortez. The coloring
of this sea runs the gamut from green to blue tones, becoming
more intense as the depth increases; vessels of all kinds can
be seen in this rich waters, from ocean liners to pleasure yachts.
San José del Cabo was founded in 1730 as a Spanish mission
outpost and retains its sleepy colonial village ambience. Shops
and restaurants cluster in a small area, just a few blocks long.
Cabo San Lucas was the favorite hiding place of pirates; it has
sprouted from a small fishing settlement into a lively resort
town with a diverse array of dining, shopping and accommodations
options.
The
modern tourism history of Los Cabos starts with the rich and famous
from Hollywood coming to fish since the late 1950's, when celebrities
like John Wayne would fly their own plane to reach this unique
fishing spot. Los Cabos has emerged not only as the worlds marlin
capital, but also as golfing paradise outside of mainland U.S.A.
