Travel Tips for Los Cabos, Mexico

At the southern part of Mexico's magnificent peninsula lies Los Cabos, a resort blessed with a perfect climate and an average year-round temperature of 78 degrees F. It is here the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Corts come together, creating a rich marine eco-system unrivaled in diversity and beauty. Fishing, diving, surfing, kayaking and numerous other watersport activities attract outdoor enthusiasts from around the world.

Los Cabos collectively refers to two picturesque towns, Cabo San Lucas at the southern tip and San Jos del Cabo twenty miles to the northeast, separated by a resort corridor that boasts luxurious world-class Mexico hotels and golf resorts. Just ten minutes from Los Cabos International airport lies the tranquil colonial town of San Jos del Cabo. Cabo San Lucas, known for its white sand beaches and "El Arco", the perfect arch at the southernmost tip of the magnificent Baja Peninsula, offers a great nightlife full of excellent restaurants and nightclubs. In contrast to the hustle and bustle party atmosphere found in Cabo San Lucas, San Jos del Cabo is quaint and colorful with a colonial plaza centered round its magnificent mission in the town square.

Here are some travel tips useful for you if you decide to visit this magnificent place.
Travel Tips for Los Cabos, Mexico


When to go: Los Cabos is a real tropical paradise proper for visiting all the year round. The only real off-season is late summer, when tropical storms over the ocean cause bursts of rainfall. Summer storms pass quick, letting the sun reappear just as fast. To avoid tourists and find cheaper hotels in Mexico, book a trip for late August or September. Cabo is also a popular Spring Break destination, when the Sea of Cortes bumps to the collective techno beat of the "booze cruises" that cater to a college-age crowd.

Where to stay

Los Cabos is the perfect option to choose a hotel in Mexico. The 20-mile Tourist Corridor between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas hosts a stream of full-service and golf resorts, the high-walled compounds of which many visitors never leave. For a more authentic cultural experience, consider staying in San Jose, a historic Jesuit colonial town about 7 miles from the airport distinguished by elegant courtyards and galleries. Unlike San Jose, Cabo San Lucas resides right on the still, translucent waters of the Sea of Cortes, perfect for water sports and fishing.

What to do

Explore the many activities Los Cabos has to offer, from scuba diving and snorkeling to salsa dancing and club hopping. This resort boasts seven championship golf courses and offers world-renowned big game fishing. For whale watching, travel between January and March. For dancing, pick a club that suits your taste. Cabo Wabo and El Squid Row play pop music, inviting the Spring Break crowd. Less touristy Mambo Caf, right off the marina, features live salsa, mambo and marimba bands; local culture embraces traditional partner dance, so don't be surprised if you're asked to salsa.
