Introduction to San José del Cabo
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Introduction to San José del Cabo

An Authentic Side of Cabo Get acquainted with San José del Cabo, the more subdued sister city to Cabo San Lucas. The oldest Spanish mission on the Baja Peninsula, San José was an important city during the Spanish colonization and a stopover destination for ships heading farther into the Pacific Ocean. You will tender ashore and meet your guide for a drive along the highway that connects all the resorts between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. Set out on a guided walk to explore its charming mission, inviting town square and low adobe homes that evoke an old colonial atmosphere. A Spanish mission here, founded in 1730, replenished galleons making the long journey to the Philippines. Walk through the main plaza, enjoy the town’s artistic flair and browse the many art galleries before returning to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
