Mexico's Baja California peninsula comprises two states, Baja California in the north and Baja California Sur in the south. Close to the southernmost tip is Cabo San Lucas, a fishing village turned resort city and cruise destination. The city serves as a base for both sports fisherman and whale watchers seeking their targets in the teeming tropical waters where the Pacific Ocean meets the Gulf of California.
The single most popular activity in the area is hiring a boat to explore the picturesque rocks that mark Baja California's land's end. The most famous landmark in the area is El Arco or The Arch of Cabo San Lucas, a natural formation serving as a kind of window between the vast ocean and the smaller gulf.
While the underwater world offers adventurers unlimited attractions in the form of marlins, humpback whales and reef fish, the native birds and seals rely on the same sea not for sport or sightseeing but for their meals and survival. A quick tour of El Arco in a small boat guarantees the opportunity to see this above-the-water wildlife in their stunningly beautiful natural habitat.
