Los Cabos Must-Sees

The area offers diverse aquatic environments, from the protected coral reefs of Cabo Pulmo National Park to the calm snorkeling waters of Santa Maria Beach. Local dining highlights include traditional Mexican taquerias and organic field-to-table kitchens set back from the shoreline.
