Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Baja was first sighted by Hernan Cortes’ pilot, Francisco de Ulloa, in 1537 – eighteen years after the conquest of the Aztec Empire. With no gold or silver and little agricultural potential, Baja’s discovery was of little worth until trade routes were established across the Pacific in the late 16th century.

The 1940’s and 50’s brought wealthy vacationers and sportsmen, drawn by the secluded luxury lodges lining the cliffs, and the massive game fish that teem in the swirl of surf where ocean meets sea. Sport fishing still remains one of the area’s chief draws, as popular as the perfect sandy beaches and the ever-growing waterfront resorts. With miles of pristine beaches, beautiful scenery, and gorgeous weather, it’s no wonder that Cabo is becoming a resort destination.
