Los Cabos is at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula. The breathtaking scenic contrasts can best be appreciated from the air: Looking across the Sea of Cortes (which separates the Baja from the rest of Mexico) the visitor first sees the craggy peaks of the Sierra de la Laguna forming a backdrop to miles of golden beach, blue water and dramatic red rock formations; Saguaro cactus, palms and cultivated gardens cover the pale golden desert landscape.
Cabo San Lucas is best identified by the image of the world famous rock arch formation, El Arco, where the Pacific Ocean meets the warm waters of the Sea of Cortes. Like many of its hotels, the name Los Cabos is a recent addition: it means The Capes.
