Like a Child's favorite storybook, Los Cabos, Mexico, ignites the imagination. It' one of the planet's most magical places full of wild adventure, unexpected romance, extraordinary beauty and ancient legends. "Los Cabos" takes you on a pictorial journey to the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo and the East Cape come alive.

In the Beginning

Stretching south from California, the Baja Peninsula is a thin finger of land that separated from mainland Mexico millions of years ago and now divides the Pacific Ocean from the Sea of Cortés. As a result, the Sea of Cortés, or Gulf of California, holds one of the most diverse marine populations in the world, and it merges peacefully with the mighty Pacific in Los Cabos, located at the southernmost tip of the 1,100 mile long peninsula.

The Sierra de la Laguna mountain range peaks to the north of Los Cabos with decidious trees and freshwater streams that trickle down from 7,090 feet and blend seamlessly with cardón cactus and underground springs of the desert. The wild Baja desert eases past the Tropic of Cancer and into the sea, where blue marlin, yellowfin tuna and live corals reefs provide some of the best seafaring diversion in the world.

Glimpses of uninhabited mountain peaks, stretches of deserted beaches and the sight of whales breeding in their natural habitat hint at an untouched Los Cabos of centuries past. Nevertheless, despite its pristine natural scenery, humans have lived and loved Los Cabos for hundreds of years.
