Description

A beautiful natural rock formation, El Arco, or The Arch, is one of the most scenic areas in the Baja region. It can be found on the southernmost tip of the Baja California peninsula, and marks the point where the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean meet. The Arch has become the symbol of Los Cabos, as well as its most famous landmark. It is a great place to spot ocean wildlife such as seals or pelicans, and several local companies run boat trips so that visitors can experience it close-up.
