Visit Los Cabos Why Southwest Rapid Rewards® International travel tips

You’ve heard of “Cabo,” but the southern Baja Peninsula of Los Cabos is actually a dual destination that includes both San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. Just 20 miles apart, these sister cities offer a range of tropical experiences, from the old-world charm of the former to the bounty of beachfront resorts in the latter.

Beach lovers will want to visit Playa del Amor. This iconic Cabo San Lucas beach, accessible only by boat, isn’t quiet or secluded as the name suggests. Instead, pack a snorkel and some cervezas and join the crowd of carousers. Water taxi and glass-bottom boats leave from Cabo San Lucas Marina. Want to stay on land? Take a stroll through the historic San José del Cabo Arts District. The cultural epicenter of the area, this collection of galleries highlights local and international contemporary artists. Consider taking home an extraordinary painting, photo, or jewelry as a souvenir by which to remember your Cabo getaway.

Adventure in Los Cabos awaits. Start by booking a flight with Southwest. Southwest Airlines® flies to Los Cabos International Airport, making your adventure even easier to kick off. And when you book with Southwest, you can book with confidence knowing that the process will be straightforward from flight selection to checkout. Of course, having a memorable international trip is about more than finding a great deal on a flight. Learn more about the Southwest Experience and book your next flight to Los Cabos International Airport.
