Located at the very furthest southern point of the Baja California Sur, and easily accesible by both land and see. If traveling by land, it is about 1000 miles from San Diego, and it is about 20 minutes from the Los Cabos international Airport.
Baja California Sur is Mexico’s primary neighbor to the Sea of Cortes and is a land full of contrast with its islands, marine life, desert, mountains and huge arroyos. This unique combination puts our destination in a special position within the tourism industry. Los Cabos, which started in 1956 with twelve rooms at the Palmilla Hotel, now has over 11,000 rooms. Up until the end of 2008, statistics showed continued growth, with the highest daily average rate and revenue per available room in the country. The average stay continues to be close to four days, and its proximity to the primary North American markets enables guests visit Cabo several times during the year.
Since 1990, it has also become a popular second home market for Canadians and Americans; it has achieved a reputation as the home for celebrities, families, and retired couples. The quality of homes, the variety of developments and activities, and its unique climate and topography make it ideal for real estate development. More and more, people are buying real estate through either the traditional trust (Fideicomiso) or a company purchase. The buyers’ usage patterns have changed, as they now seem to spend more time with their family and friends in a fantastic climate. As the destination has improved its infrastructure and become more appealing to visitors from all age groups, the number of people staying in homes or condos has grown immensely. The well-established real estate broker community, the existence of title insurance, reputable developers, and a healthy banking system have facilitated the growth of home purchases made by foreign visitors. Visiting and buying in Los Cabos has become a priority for North Americans. With great opportunities that exist today, it is time to visit and explore Los Cabos. Cabo is still small and charming by any standards. And with the number of activities available to the visitor, you could easily imagine that you are in a giant amusement park. Golf has become a major factor in the Cabo San Lucas equation, with five championship courses complete and more on the way, Los Cabos has quietly become the golf capital of México.
Cabo has come of age. Located at the southernmost tip of the magnificent Baja peninsula, Cabo has been blessed with what many describe as the perfect climate.

But Cabo is far from remote these days, and the attraction of this magical spot is no longer limited to marlin fishing. Cabo can be, many different things to people.

History of Cabo San LucasThe history of this area is full of mystery, hardships, and piracies, as all beach destinations should be. Cabo San Lucas was named for the cape that goes eastward from the very tip. For many centuries it was only used as a harbor by mariners, but because there was a lack of fresh water, it was not favored by many. Some pirates used Cabo San Lucas to hide out from attacks.
In the 1930´s there was a small fishing village located in the harbor, and there were about 400 residents here. It wasn’t until the 50´s and 60´s that Cabo San Lucas real estate became popular as a sports fishing haven. The stories these anglers brought home with them, increased the areas population to a little over 1500, and then in 1973 the transpensular highway was finished which made the area accessible by land, as well as by sea, and air, and brought in even more residents.
