Los Cabos has three distinct areas; the town of San Jose del Cabo to the northeast, CABO SAN LUCAS at the southern tip and a 20-mile seacoast strip known as the "Corridor" that connects the two towns. The spectacular stone arch formation, El Arco, located where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean portrays the breathtaking but distinct differences of the Capes. Jagged peaks of the Sierra de la Laguna form a majestic background for miles of pristine beaches, blue seas and craggy rock formations. But only a short walk away, palms and saguaro cactus form a silhouette on the horizon of the pale desert setting.
