Eating great food is a fun part of traveling. Knowing where the food comes from and how to make it, makes the food taste even better. There are several organic farms in the Los Cabos area offering tours, cooking classes, and a restaurant to dine. Two of the most popular are Tamrindos and Flora Farms. If you want a unique experince with a wonderful new culinary experience Monte Cardon is from former head of Tamrindos.

Beach

There are miles of gorgeous beaches in Los Cabos to explore, lay out, and enjoy. One thing to be transparent about is the majority of beaches in Los Cabos are nonswimming beaches. Not all, but a good majority. If you want to surf or try to surf Cabo Surf Hotel offers rentals and lessons.

Whales & Whale Sharks

If you've always wanted to see a whale in the wild January to March in Los Cabos is filled with whales in the bay. You can take a whale watching tour or see whale spouts from the beach or your hotel pool. The largest species of fish is the whale shark. They're very common in Baja and swimming with a whale shark is life-changing. Don't worry these are gentle giants and they cruise the top of the surface. The best place to swim with a Whale Shark is in La Paz which is just over a two-hour drive from Los Cabos.
