Los Cabos originally became popular as a beach vacation destination, but over the last few years, it’s begun to bring in travelers for more than just the beaches.
Los Cabos is actually growing in popularity for travelers looking to experience the growing travel trend of exploring nature and the environment.
And there are a number of reasons for Los Cabos being the perfect destination for this popular travel trend.
The Diversity Of Los Cabos’ Location
Los Cabos is bordered by not just one body of water, but two, the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez.
Strangely enough, despite being surrounded by water, Los Cabos, which includes the cities of San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, is a desert.
The diversity of the environment in the location makes it a prime spot to explore nature.

Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo are no doubt the destinations that make Los Cabos the popular vacation destination that it is.
But for those into the growing nature exploration travel trend, there is even more to see in the surrounding areas too.
La Paz, Todos Santos, Santiago, Cabo Pulmo, The East Cape, and Santa Anita all have their own natural treasures to explore too.

On Land
Both the desert and the beaches provide the opportunity for some exciting activities that will allow you to experience the best of Los Cabos’ nature.
You can go horseback or camel riding down the stunning Los Cabos beaches, you can ride an ATV along a cliff overlooking the sea, and you can go hiking in the Sierra de la Laguna mountains to reach hot springs and waterfalls.
You can even drive through a town only a short distance from Los Cabos that has thriving orchards or visit a working farm, Flora Farms, for a farm-to-table dining experience or nature-inspired spa treatment.
