Stretching along the tip of Baja Peninsula is the sparkling resort of Cabo San Lucas known as the cape or Los Cabos in Spanish. Once used as a frequent stop for pirates awaiting passage of the Manila Galleons, today Cabo San Lucas is headed for resort stardom. In the last fifteen years, it has evolved from a sleepy hideaway for fisherman and yacht owners into one of Mexico's most popular resort destinations. Cabo San Lucas differs in many respects from its "Mexican Riviera" counterparts. Because of its geographic separation and isolation from mainland Mexico, Cabo's visitor industry developed with closer ties to the U.S. (mostly California) than the rest of Mexico. Cabo San Lucas has a unique and striking desert landscape, dry climate, great outdoors and unspoiled beauty. Visitors are surrounded by a dramatic coupling of endless cactus desert, backed by cinnamon mountains, and bordered by miles of white sand beaches and clear blue water.
Climate & Geography Most of the Baja region is exceptionally dry. as in most tropical regions, Mexico has two weather seasons: rainy and dry. Generally, rain falls and temperatures rise from June through October, leaving November through May as the more temperate, drier season. However, in Southern Baja a subtropical desert assures over 350 days a year of sunshine, cool winter evenings, low humidity and refreshing sea breezes. Summer temperatures climb into the mid 90's, but are generally cooler on the Pacific ocean side. Humidity is considerably lower in Cabo than at mainland resorts.
