Any time travelers have the chance to head to sunny Los Cabos, Mexico or La Paz in the name of an amazing vacation, it’s an opportunity well worth taking. Here, sun, sand, and surf abound year-round, and options to indulge in getaway luxury and style are always at your fingertips too! While these locations are brimming over with popular places to explore and activities to add to the lineup, there’s just as much to enjoy in the way of off-the-beaten-path adventures. When you’re looking for those hidden gems that will take your next trip to the top, the following unique activities and attractions in Cabo San Lucas are must-adds on your itinerary.
Sign Up for Your Place on a Juan More Taco Food Tour
Whether you’re spending the majority of your Los Cabos adventure in Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo, the one thing that remains the same is eventually, you’re going to have to find a way to satisfy your hunger. That’s where booking your place on a Juan More Taco Food Tour comes into the picture and makes all the difference. While Los Cabos is loved for its luxurious eateries waiting to be discovered, there are just as many palate-pleasing moments to enjoy when you head off the beaten path on a food tour of this type. This locally owned food tour company typically departs from downtown Cabo San Lucas, and includes the services of a knowledgeable local guide who will take you to some lesser-known eateries in the area that showcase traditional Mexican cuisine at its best. You’ll get to try all types of bold dishes and learn more about how they’re made and where ingredients are sourced along the way. A typical tour includes eight stops, meaning you’re going to want to bring your appetite for all of the amazing empanadas, tamales, and sopes that are inevitably in your vacation future.
Enjoy Quality Time Exploring Plaza Amelia Wilkes
Travelers taking time out of busy schedules to enjoy a well-deserved trip to Los Cabos will likely be drawn to popular tourist destinations in the area like Medano Beach and the Marina at some point in time. While these high-traffic destinations come with vast appeal, you don’t have to travel much further away to find a place that feels more authentic to Cabo and is much quieter as well. Just a few streets from the marina you’ll find Plaza Amelia Wilkes, which is an inviting area a bit off the beaten path that plays host to locally owned eateries, a slower pace of life, and a gorgeous plaza dotted with colorful gardens to explore too. The buildings boast vibrant hues here and are worth taking some time to admire or photograph, and even if you just come by to stroll through, it’s a place that has a way of sticking with you. For history buffs heading this way, don’t miss out on the opportunity to pair your time in Plaza Amelia Wilkes with a few hours at the Natural History Museum located here too. It’s a great place for visitors of all ages and a comprehensive look at the cultural and geographic history of Los Cabos.
Get a Brand New View Out Over Lands End
Associating travel to Los Cabos with time spent admiring Lands End is inevitable. This amazing landmark is truly one-of-a-kind, but if you want to get a new view on it all, from a vantage point that many others don’t take time to consider, a hike up Mt. Somar is a must. Also known as Cerro del Vigia, Mt. Solmar is a peak that rises high above Lands End and sits on private property. While you can’t just let yourself onto the trail, you can ask for permission from the man (Enrique) who owns the land and is stationed at the base trailhead. He offers guided hikes up most days of the week, and making the experience even more welcoming and appealing is the fact that he’s more than happy to have visitors bring their dogs along for the journey! When you reach the summit, you’ll be rewarded with truly unsurpassed vistas out over the water and rocky formations, making for amazing photo opportunities and an experience you won’t soon forget.
Add Local Markets to the List
If you’re day tripping to La Paz, or you’ve decided to book a rental here, you’ll find there are just as many must-visit sites, attractions, and events to explore as you might expect to find in Los Cabos. However, those who are looking for local, authentic experiences are also in luck as this area has some great hidden markets to check out while you’re in town. Make time to head over to Mercado Bravo in La Paz when you want to shop for local fruits, veggies, meats, fresh flowers, and more. This charming local market has been a staple in the area for over 50 years, but it’s situated several blocks back from the popular seafront, so you’ll need to make a dedicated effort to access it.
