Sport And Adventure In Los Cabos 

The recent arrival of the Ironman 70.3 competition is proof that Los Cabos is the perfect destination for outdoor sport and adventure.   

Not only is it the diverse landscapes and amazing weather that attract event organizers to the destination, but the location.   

As one official of the Mexican Triathlon Federation, Edgar Rodriguez, pointed out, “In the case of Los Cabos, it is very close to the United States, which makes many foreigners go down to compete in Los Cabos, and there are also many foreigners living there from the United States.”

Exploring The Diverse Terrain 

The diverse terrain in the region is one of the things that makes the destination so popular among outdoor and adventure lovers because there are so many ways to explore it.   

ATV tours, hiking, and mountain biking will allow you to traverse the different landscapes and see a part of Los Cabos that is far different from the bustling tourist areas.

Beneath The Deep Blue Sea 

The Sea of Cortez was once described by Jacques Cousteau as “the world’s aquarium” due to the abundance of sea life.   

Add to that the fact that the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean in Cabo San Lucas, and you can see why adventurers might want to explore the deep blue sea.   

And there are plenty of snorkeling and diving tours that will allow you to do just that.
