Los Cabos & Whale Watching

Best Time To Go
About Baja California and its surrounding areas

Los Cabos, the southernmost point of Baja California, consists of two distinct towns – Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Cabo San Lucas is a lively destination known as the "Aquarium of the World," where you can swim with dolphins, whale sharks, or take a camel ride through the desert. Don’t miss the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas and enjoy luxury spas or all-inclusive resorts.  

In contrast, San José del Cabo offers a quieter vibe with its charming cobbled streets, boutique hotels, and artistic historical centre. It’s perfect for foodies and those seeking stunning ocean views and a relaxed atmosphere. 

Loreto, further up the coast, is a quaint town with colonial architecture, local craft beers, and fresh fish tacos. Nearby Bahía de Loreto Marine Park is ideal for watersports and whale watching (December-March). 

Todos Santos is a colourful town popular with artists and yoga enthusiasts. Explore uncrowded beaches, bohemian galleries, and indulge in delicious Mexican food for a unique cultural escape
