Description

Opened in 1990, La Fabrica de Vidrio Soplado, or The Blown Glass Factory, was for a long time the only one of its kind in the Baja area. It continues to be one of the most popular tourist sites in Los Cabos. Visitors can watch various artisans creating unique hand-blown pieces using amazing centuries-old techniques. Much of the glass used by the artists is recycled. The Blown Glass Factory creates functional items such as tableware, as well as decorative and custom-made pieces. Local tour guides offer bilingual tours, so the factory and its techniques are accessible to all visitors. A gift shop is available on the premises. Visiting before 2pm is recommended, as the Factory is less crowded in the morning.
