Add to My List Check Off

The city of San José del Cabo is located in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Sister town to the party destination of Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo offers a more low key place to rest. Relax on the beautiful beaches, explore the brillant green San Jose del Cabo estuary or go shopping in town. The town square, or Zocolo, is home to the cathedral – a reminder of San Jose del Cabo’s vivid history as a mission. The Mission San José del Cabo was founded in 1730; the nearby Río San José was useful to the Spanish as a source of fresh water for galleons traveling to and from the Philippines. The sea temperature of San José del Cabo is always noticeably warmer than the neighboring city Cabo San Lucas, due to being less exposed to the cold waters from the California current. The waters experiences lows of 68–72 °F (20–22 °C) in winter, and highs of 75–82 °F (24–28 °C) during the summer months. San José del Cabo is one of two places where the rare and possibly extinct rice rat Oryzomys peninsulae has been found. Both Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo are served by Los Cabos International Airport.
