6 Reasons Americans Can’t Get Enough Of Los Cabos

Share The Article

Last Updated

Tourism in Los Cabos has made huge gains since the end of the pandemic, and this year more than a million tourists have already visited the vacation destination.   

Even more surprising, though, is the fact that 90 percent of all foreign tourists who have visited Los Cabos so far this year are American.   

This means nearly all tourists who visit Los Cabos come from the United States, and here are 6 reasons why they can’t get enough of this popular vacation destination.

Location

One reason for Los Cabos becoming so popular among American tourists is its geographical location.   

It is located on the Baja California Peninsula, which is directly connected to the United States.   

This means flights for a good portion of American travelers are not much more than a few hours long, making Los Cabos ideal for a quick getaway.   

Furthermore, the close proximity has led to an increase in connections from U.S. cities, so there are flights arriving from U.S. cities and departing from Los Cabos almost every day.

Safety And Security 

Another thing that draws American and Canadian tourists to Los Cabos is the safety and security of the destination compared to some other vacation hotspots.   

In Los Cabos, they take security very seriously, implementing things like canines, security cameras, and even the military to keep tourists safe.   

These security measures are ramped up even further during the busiest seasons for tourism, which are spring break and the winter months when Americans and Canadians are trying to escape the cold weather.

Luxury All-Inclusive Resorts 

Not only are there a lot of luxury all-inclusive resorts in both Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, but the level of luxury is superior.   

And although some of the super luxurious properties can cost hundreds of dollars a night, there are more budget-friendly options as well, and even many of those are pretty grand.   

With no shortage of luxury accommodations, it’s no wonder that not just tourists but Hollywood celebrities love Los Cabos too.

Unparalleled Service 

Along with luxurious accommodations comes a level of service that the hospitality industry takes great pride in, and it isn’t just in the hotels.   

Whether you’re dining at a fancy restaurant, a street food stall, staying at the most luxurious resort, or a more budget-friendly all-inclusive, you can expect first-rate service.   

This makes it feel like a real vacation when you’re in Los Cabos.

Variety Of Attractions And Activities 

Many visitors are amazed at how much there is to do in Los Cabos, with activities to please just about any traveler.   

There is a vibrant nightlife, water activities, beaches, day trip excursions, boat tours, hiking, snorkeling, horseback and camel riding, ATVing, adventure parks, and more.   

And this list doesn’t even include all of the entertainment and activities offered by the resorts.

Diverse Natural Landscapes 

Part of the reason there is such a variety in the activities available in Los Cabos is the fact that the region has such diverse natural landscapes.   

Mountains, the desert, and of course the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean all provide different opportunities to get out and have some fun.   

Whether you go it alone or book a tour, like so many other tourists, you’ll want to take time to enjoy the diverse landscape that is Los Cabos and the Baja California Peninsula region.

The Future Of Los Cabos As A Tourist Destination 

Tourism in Los Cabos was better this year than last year, and last year was better than the most recent pre-pandemic year.   

That being said, what started off as a destination for Hollywood celebrities, doesn’t seem like it’s going to stop growing in the tourism department anytime soon.   

So now is the time to visit Los Cabos, like so many American travelers have already done.
