Destination
Los Cabos, Mexico
Desert meets ocean at the tip of the Baja Peninsula — a different Mexico than the Caribbean coast, with dramatic scenery to match.
Why We Love It
Los Cabos looks nothing like the Caribbean side of Mexico, and that's the draw for travelers who've already done Cancún — dramatic desert cliffs meeting the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez, with El Arco's rock formation as the signature shot every boat tour swings past.
Winter visits come with a bonus most travelers don't plan around: gray and humpback whales migrate through the surrounding waters December through April, visible from shore on a clear day and up close on a whale-watching excursion.
Highlights
- El Arco, the iconic rock arch at Land's End
- Whale watching (December-April, gray and humpback whales)
- A drier, desert climate than Mexico's Caribbean coast
- Strong direct-flight access from Western US cities
Best time to go: November-April for whale season and the mildest desert heat
Good for: West Coast travelers, couples, anyone wanting a non-Caribbean Mexico tripReady to Plan Los Cabos?
