This tourist enclave is also a treasure trove of cultural, historical, and natural wealth, ready to be explored by those seeking a unique and memorable experience, offering a series of fascinating places on the Baja California Sur peninsula.
Santiago is a picturesque town located an hour from San José del Cabo.

El Triunfo, on the other hand, is a former gold and silver mining center that has become a historical gem, with attractions including La Ramona, a chimney designed by Gustave Eiffel, and the Parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Visitors can explore the mining legacy at the Ruta de Plata Museum and discover the town’s musical history at the Music Museum, which houses an impressive collection of pianos and ancient instruments.
La Ventana beaches are ideal for windsurfing
Windsurfing and kitesurfing enthusiasts will enjoy La Ventana, which with its constant winds from November to March creates an ideal environment to enjoy these activities. In addition, visitors can enjoy activities such as kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, diving, and fishing in the crystal-clear waters with spectacular views of Cerralvo Island.
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle, Migriño offers an experience of peace and nature.
