Dramatically cradled between desert and ocean, Los Cabos is best known for El Arco, the iconic rocky arch rising high above the choppy ocean waves. Now, it can be your gateway to adventure. A glass-bottom boat excursion will give you a unique look at the El Arco from above and below the water, as you watch silvery fish flash by and maybe even catch a glimpse of a playful sea lion. Get closer with a kayak and snorkel tour that will take you to secluded sands only reachable by sea. As the setting sun paints the cliffs red and gold, a catamaran cruise creates memories that will last a lifetime.

Back on dry land, the things to do are endless. Outside the city, rugged desert stretches as far as the eye can see. Would you like to take in the breathtaking landscapes of the Baja Peninnsula at the controls of an ATV or on horseback? Maybe a camel safari is more your style, or perhaps you prefer to see Baja from above, as you zipline across a canyon.

Of course, Los Cabos is an adventure all its own. Beneath the gloss of a modern resort town lies one of its greatest attractions - the authentic warmth and charm of a seaside town; and the right tour from Pleasant Activities can give you a taste of the best it has to offer. Shop for local art and handicrafts, sample artisan tequila and experience a simpler, slower time. Nearby, the quirky village of Todos Santos is home to many boutiques and galleries, as well as the famous Hotel California.
