Besides the already known San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, in the surroundings of Los Cabos, you can find places with different personalities and attractions. Here are 10 places that will surprise you on your next visit to the destination.

Migriño

This place is ideal for relaxation, connecting with nature, and enjoying the wonders it has to offer. Its beaches are home to whales that like to stroll in front of the eyes of tourists and locals as they migrate north. For terrestrial experiences, horseback riding, hiking, or ATV tours. Regardless of the choice, the geography of the site and all of Los Cabos immerses visitors in tours that combine the desert landscape with the sea in the background.

La Ventana

This small beach town offers several opportunities to interact with the sea. It is famous for its windsurfing tournaments and for the opportunity to practice kitesurfing. For those who prefer quieter activities, La Ventana is ideal for kayaking or snorkeling. It is a place to connect with the local culture and people. You can find several places for glamping and camping with all the comforts.

La Candelaria

Only 128 people guard the legacy of La Candelaria, a town that is two centuries old and has collected hundreds of stories in that time. Particularly noteworthy are the stories of white magic and witchcraft. Within this peculiar and interesting landscape, there is also space for the animals of the region that take the town as their own and consequently fill it with their presence in the streets and open spaces.

Todos Santos

As expected, the growing fame of Todos Santos is not in vain, the destination that has become one of the must-see destinations in the region extols its roots through its food, crafts, and art. This pride in its roots turns the Magical Town into a destination that offers visitors a wide variety of activities and things to do and see, as well as an unmatched vibe. The colonial architecture and its surfing beach round out its great offerings.

Pescadero

Unlike the beaches surrounding Los Cabos, Pescadero's beaches are ideal for swimming, beach sports, or just relaxing. The authenticity of the town not only attracts visitors, it is also a place visited by locals, so you can get closer to the daily life of the region.

El Triunfo

This town that years ago was a mining cradle now has only a hundred residents. In its heritage, however, remains the respect for silver. An example of this is the Silver Museum which reviews the history of the place. Here you can also find the Music Museum which has a collection of the instruments that arrived in the town at the peak of its mining production.

Santiago

The "Mission of Santiago the Apostle" now known as Santiago is home to impressive botanical gardens and hot springs. It is only an hour's drive from San Jose del Cabo to reach this spectacular oasis of water and plants. It has several crystal clear waterfalls that you can hike to on hiking trails. Less than 10 miles away there are also several natural hot springs.

Miraflores

Just 45 minutes away from San José del Cabo is this town famous for its silver mining. It is also famous for the production of other objects such as furniture and ceramics. Near Miraflores, in Sierra de la Laguna, you can rent all-terrain vehicles to explore the area and see the flora and fauna.

Cabo Pulmo

Cabo Pulmo is a Natural Protected Area designated Natural World Heritage by UNESCO, it is also known as "The Aquarium of the World" because of the species that live in its sea. Because it is a place so rich in fauna and flora, all activities are well cared for. Cabo Pulmo's tourism model is completely sustainable, as part of the conservation project of this region, electricity is limited, explorations are closely regulated and the capacity is limited. If you are looking for a place away from the community where diving is the main attraction, it is recommended to make a reservation in advance to guarantee a space with a tourist service provider.

Los Barriles

This place near Los Cabos is ideal for water sports, one of them is fishing. In the sea of Los Barriles, you can find species such as roosterfish, jack mackerel, and even mahi mahi mahi. On the other hand, it is also an ideal place for windsurfing and kiteboarding from December to March. From October to February you can also snorkel and dive and even see whale sharks.
