On the southern edge, Cabo San Lucas is one of the most popular tropical destinations in all of Mexico, while the state's capital, La Paz, offers amazing cultural attractions and historic architecture.

This area is also known for its gray whale population - they grace the waters surrounding the region every winter. Simply head to one of the popular viewing spots at Bahía Magdalena Natural Reserve, San Ignacio Lagoon, or the Soledad and Ojo de Liebre estuaries for an unforgettable experience.
