Los Cabos
Los Cabos sits at the very tip of the Baja California Peninsula, where the Sonoran Desert meets the Sea of Cortez in a landscape of granite arches, cactus-studded hills and warm, calm water. The region is really two towns in one: the glossy marina and nightlife of Cabo San Lucas, and the colonial-era calm of San José del Cabo, linked by a resort studded coastal strip known as the Tourist Corridor.

Frequently asked questions about Los Cabos
How do I get to Los Cabos?

From the terminal, travellers typically take a pre-booked shuttle, an authorised taxi or a public bus toward San José del Cabo, the Corridor or Cabo San Lucas, since ride-hailing pickups are not reliably available at the airport.

Plan on ~4-7 days to settle into the beach and marina scene around Cabo San Lucas, explore San José del Cabo's gallery district and add time for excursions like whale watching or a day trip up the coast.
