Fun Facts to Know About Cabo

Spanish settlers, pirates, gold mining, ancient native groups, lands end and shipwrecks all make up the colorful history of Los Cabos.  Located at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, Cabo marks the dividing line between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez -- and is marked by one of the most famous geographic land marks in the world: Land's End.

Cabo is located 1,000 miles south of San Diego and actually sits on the same latitude line as Salt Lake City. It's striking desert terrain (Baja Desert) and pristine beaches have made it the second most sought after destination in the world.

Given the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean and the warming tendencies of the Sea of Cortez, Cabo enjoys near-perfect weather.  Temperatures should run in the high 80's to the low 90's while we're there, and -- with luck -- we should enjoy beautiful sunny days and tropical nights!

Finally, Cabo is one of the great whale watching sites in the world...unfortunately the best time for viewing is from January to March when the gray whales make their 6,000 mile journey from Alaska to the warm waters of the Baja California Sur.
