Hike
Mt. Solmar, Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico
View Original Description
Mt. Solmar is one of the most popular hikes in Cabo. It’s a fairly vigorous and steep hike that will take you up the mountain behind Lover’s Beach from the Pacific side or the Marina. The views are impressive and breathtaking. There are also two Satellite Tower Hikes that offer great views. One is on the mountainside behind the Costco along the Corridor. The other starts near the entrance to Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort on the Pacific Ocean side and ends at the top of a mountain with panoramic views of Cabo, the bay, and both the Sea of Cortez and Pacific Ocean. If you’re looking for an easier walk, a stroll along the boardwalk of Estero San José del Cabo (the estuary) is a lovely place to get some exercise while taking in the birdlife and views of the estuary.
How to Hike There: There’s a lot of information online about various hiking options around Los Cabos which makes it an easy spot to hike on your own.
