,History & Overview

This sparkling dual destination is one of the most precious gems on the Baja. Defined by its iconic landmark, El Arco, (the giant natural arched rock formation off the tip of the penin-sula) Los Cabos has evolved into one of Mexicos most prestigious and well known destinations. Nonetheless, it holds true to its Mexican roots and the Baja culture that continues to draw visi-tors from across North America.

Stretching along the southernmost part of the Baja Peninsula are the desert-by-the-sea resorts of Cabo San Lucas and San Jos del Cabo. Known as The Capes, or Los Cabos (lows-KAH-bows) in Spanish, most of the time its simply referred to as Cabo. Geared to inspire, the areas unspoiled beauty is a unique combination of strik-ing desert landscape and deep blue sea. Visitors are surrounded by a dramatic coupling of endless cactus desert, backed by cinnamon mountains, and bordered by miles of white sandy beaches, coves, and rock outcroppings.

Because of its geographic separation and isola-tion from mainland Mexico, the Los Cabos visi-tor industry developed closer ties to the U.S. (mostly California) than to the rest of Mexico. A conspicuous north-of-the-border atmo-sphere and attitude give the area an appealing cultural duality.

Everyone who visits Los Cabos immediately feels at home. American products fill store

shelves, dollars are gladly accepted, U.S. and Canadian license plates abound, and much of the resort development has been dominated by North American enterprises. Despite these foreign trappings, theres no denying Los Cabos strong Mexico-by-the sea atmosphere.

This is a special ocean/beach resort that beckons travelers to step away from the demands of their busy lives and indulge themselves in TIME2CABO.

How it all began..From plundering pirates and conquis-tadors, to sport fishing aficionados and Hollywoods elite, Los Cabos diverse past has played an important role in the destinations transforma-tion into the thriving, upscale play-ground that it is today. The mixture of many different cultures has left a last-ing legacy.

In the past thirty years, Los Cabos has grown from a hideaway for savvy fishermen and yacht owners into one of Mexicos most popular resort destinations. Due largely to an impressive infrastructure, improved roads and air access, Los Cabos has also been able to attract some heavy hitters in the resort, golf, and real estate investment community. Backed by FONATUR (the governments agency in charge of new resort development), Los Cabos has proven

The Los Cabos Convention & Visitors Bureau announced that Mexicos President Felipe Caldern has officially selected Los Cabos as the host city for the 2012 G20 Summit, which will be held in June 2012.The destinations first-class hotel and airport infrastructure were noted as two important factors in the decision.

With 13,000 total rooms in the destination, Los Cabos will dedicate 11,000 rooms to the G20 Summit to accom-modate the more than 7,000 attendees, while the Mexican government will invest more than $47,000,000 into the development and promotion of the Summit.
