Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo's Old Town are referred to as Los Cabos together.

The Chapel of San Lucas, a 300-year-old Spanish mission-style church with historical elements, is one of Los Cabos' most fantastic attractions. Many additional structures in Cabo date back to the city's inception and represent the city's Colonial heritage.
The major streets of Los Cabos are lined with bars, nightclubs, and luxury condos that are popular with both visitors and locals, making it easy to let you free and live it up.
Cabo has a vibrant culture as rich and diverse as its fabled past, and there are things to see, mysteries to uncover, and adventures around every turn.

Top 5 Los Cabos Sights & Historical Place To Visit

 

1. Espiritu Santo Island: In 1995, this stunning island retreat was named a World Heritage Site. There are curving paths for hiking and sightseeing, a quiet beach perfect for soaking in the sun and watching the waves, and a ton of beautiful aquatic life to observe while diving or snorkeling—you could even spot a humpback whale! Take a trip in a fiberglass boat or bring your own boat from the Marina Village at Costa Palmas for a really eye-opening glimpse of the amazing ocean environment.
    
2. Lover’s Beach: A Japanese sailor was allegedly saved by a local woman in the 1800s at Lover's Beach, which is located just after El Arco. The father's objection to the connection after they fell in love on the same beach has a tragic outcome as he fatally injures the sailor. In wanting to be reunited with her star-crossed love for all time, the woman committed herself to that particular seashore while she was overcome with sadness. Family-friendly Lover's Beach is a delightfully dreamlike location because of the abundance of sea life just offshore, which forms a virtual aquarium.
    
3. Mission San Jose Del Cabo: San Jose Del Cabo, like many cities and communities along Mexico's and the United State's western coasts, can trace most of its history back to a Catholic mission established by the Kingdom of Spain. Even though the mission was formally abandoned in 1840, the location of the mission church continues to play a significant part in the town's architecture and character, as well as the creative and cultural vibe that permeates it, especially during ArtWalk nights.
    
4. Iglesia De San Lucas: Today, the downtown Cabo Catholic church, which is the busiest in the region, is still standing. A Spanish missionary built the Church of St. Luke, also known as Iglesia de San Lucas, in 1730. Since then, the church's external appearance has altered so little, providing visitors with a glimpse into the past. Visitors can attend a traditional church service or gaze at the historic buildings while following regional customs. Before returning to your Beachfront villas in Los Cabos, take a trip through the surrounding town plaza, which is brimming with local eateries and stores.
    
5. Land’s End: The Baja California Peninsula's Land's End is a stunning rock feature that resembles an arch with a disappearing floor. The location also referred to as El Arco (The Arch), is a well-liked destination for glass-bottom boat cruises from the local port. The arch looks stunning when bathed in golden light, so arrive at sunrise or sunset for the most incredible views. Enjoy Mt. Solmar’s view to the west, where you may go trekking. Spend the night at one of the southern coastline's vacation rentals or spas.
