Mexico offers travellers a tantalising smorgasbord of nature, history, cuisine and culture. Aztec and Mayan archaeological treasures, tequila, charming colonial cities, Mexican food and beach culture, all these features and more make up this tourist and historical hub. The culturally curious will be bowled over by the impressive sites of ancient civilisations that moulded Mexico’s great pre-colonial history. Nature lovers will be in their element on the pristine beaches that stretch along its 10 000 kilometre coastline or exploring the country’s rainforests, mountain peaks and mangrove lagoons. Gourmands gorge on the distinctive and flavourful cuisine that has become famous worldwide.
Idyllically situated at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, Los Cabos remains Mexico’s ultimate seaside holiday destination. The area is known for its remarkable golden-sand beaches which offer a wide range of outdoor activities both above and below the crystal-clear azure waters that lap against this remarkable 33-kilometre stretch of coastline that runs between the neighbouring towns of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. While Cabo San Lucas is famous for its fun-loving beach scene and wild nightlife, San Jose is known as its more sedate, sophisticated and culturally rich counterpart. Despite their distinct differences, both towns have plenty to offer, and their proximity allows travellers to easily hop from one to the other to get the best of both worlds. If you are seeking a relaxing getaway where you can spend your days snorkelling, scuba diving, exploring charming boutiques, galleries and museums or simply kicking back on a beach lounger with a cocktail, look no further than the endless summer paradise of Los Cabos.
