EL ARCO DE CABO SAN LUCAS
Most noteworthy of the landmarks in Los Cabos, El
Arco de Cabo San Lucas or The Arch at Lands End
is an iconic symbol of the area. Centuries ago,
The Arch was used as a hiding place by pirates,
who would ambush and plunder merchant ships
heading toward the west coast. Visitors can take
in the views of the ocean while examining the
natural rock formations carved by the strong
ocean currents.

MISIÓN DE SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO AÑUITI
The Mision de San Jose del Cabo Añuiti, or the
Church of San Jose, was an often-visited landmark
for Spanish navigators and English privateers for
nearly two centuries. The mission was finally
established in 1730. While the mission was moved
to the beach in 1735, it was re-established at
the original site in 1753. The mission resisted
flooding, epidemics and illnesses until it was
abandoned in 1840. The beautiful San Jose Church
that stands today was built in 1940, close to the
place of the original mission.

IGLESIA DE SAN LUCAS
Located in downtown Cabo San Lucas, the historic
Iglesia de San Lucas has become an important
parish church. It is the main Catholic Church in
Cabo San Lucas, and is the most widely-attended
church in the area. Originally constructed in
1730, the rather simple structure is a tribute to
the local history because little has changed in
its appearance since then. The church is
surrounded by a pristine plaza containing several
restaurants and small shops.
