Known for its natural features and blazing temperature, Baja California Sur is Mexico’s melding of desert and ocean. Located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos is easily accessible by plane, which is why it’s a favorite destination for many American travelers, especially those from the west coast of the USA. Its location, with the Sea of Cortes on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, gives one a sense of being on an “island-like” sanctuary. The area has several high-end resorts and spas, beautiful beaches, and near-impeccable year-round weather. La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur, is more of a commercial and cultural center than a vacation destination, although it does attract eco-tourists looking to enjoy La Paz’s marine wonders and aquatic activities. It is home to the Museo de Antropología e Historia and La Ruta de las Misiones.

If you’re looking for sun and beach, look no further – Cancun is consistently ranked number one time and again by Orbitz and Travelocity as America’s choice in international vacation destinations. Cancun and the neighboring treasures of Holbox, Isla Mujeres, Cozumel, Isla Contoy, and the small, fisherman village of Puerto Morelos each year welcome over 3 million visitors. In the state of Quintana Roo almost everything focuses on water activities, including jet skiing, snorkeling and scuba diving, the latter along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second longest in the world. While the beach and hotel pools are the major draws to the Cancun and Riviera Maya regions, travelers also lured by attractions such as the Under Water Museum; the area’s culinary, nightlife and shopping experiences; and the popular archeological sites of Tulum, Chichen Itza and Cobá.
