If you ask anyone who has ever visited Los Cabos they’ll tell you that the popular vacation destination has beautiful beaches, incredible scenery, amazing luxury all-inclusive resorts, and plenty of opportunities for adventure.   

But while all that is undoubtedly true, Los Cabos is more than just a fantastic vacation destination, and nobody can explain that better than a local.   

And the locals say that there are 7 things you have to try when visiting Los Cabos.   

Take A Land’s End Sunset Cruise 

Land’s End and the famous Arch Of Cabo San Lucas is the most iconic sight in Los Cabos, and the best time to see them is when the sun is going down, according to locals.   

While you can easily see it from the shore of San Lucas Bay, Medano Beach, or a number of restaurants along the coast, it’s even more awe-inspiring when you see it up close.   

There are numerous boat tour options available, ranging in price from about $60-$129, that will take you on a sunset cruise past these incredible rock formations.

Take A Local Cooking Class 

Just as they say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, the best way to get to know a destination is through its food.   

And what better way to truly experience the regional cuisine than to participate in preparing a meal like a local yourself?   

There are numerous cooking classes that can be taken to do just that.   

Two popular farm-to-table cooking experiences, where you’ll get to harvest your own produce to prepare the meal, are Tamarindos and Monte Cardon.

Heal The Mind, Body, And Soul With A Temazcal Ceremony 

Many travelers visit Los Cabos for a wellness vacation, and the destination has a lot to offer for those looking to heal the mind, body, and soul.   

One way to do that is through a ritual practiced by locals for centuries called a temazcal ceremony.   

Similar to a sweat lodge, a temazcal ceremony, which incorporates local herbs into the lodge experience, is said to provide many health and spiritual benefits.
