San Jose Del Cabo Hotels

Nature-lovers will be excited to visit the Estero de San Jose, a peaceful spot with beautiful scenery and opportunities for birdwatching. The lush forests of the Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra de la Laguna (Biosphere Laguna Reserve) cover a 1,124-square kilometre (434-square mile) area of rugged, remote terrain.

San Jose del Cabo also has a historic, colonial atmosphere that is evident in the Plaza Mijares. This plaza is shaded by trees and surrounded by the Mission church, small stores, the town hall and restaurants. For a wonderful walk on the beach, visitors can go to Playa del Nuevo Sol. For those who want to swim or snorkel, the Playa Santa Maria is considered to be one of the best beaches in the Los Cabos area.
