| This is what initially put Los Cabos
on the map for the rest of the world. Where the Pacific and the
Sea of Cortez meet is the habitat for more than 800 species of fish.
Many hotels have their own fleets, some quite luxurious with matching
prices. Excursions can be made through them. Otherwise, the marina
in Cabos San Lucas is home to a large fleet. For groups of up to
three, a Panga 22 foot skiff can be rented at Palmilla Pangas
(114/2-0582), Pisces Sportfishing Fleet (114/3-1288,
Cabo Charters (114/3-0992) and the Solmar Fleet (114/3-0022.
Be aware that the "Catch and Release Program" is practiced.

| A dramatic coastline and a prime fish
habitat makes for excellent diving excursions. El Arco, Pulmo Reef,
the shipwreck outside of Cabo San Lucas as well as the numerous
beaches are favorite spots. The Solmar 5 (114/3-0022) is
a fully-outfitted, world class dive boat with 12 state rooms used
for longer trips. For daily equipment and instruction, contact
Tio Watersports (114/3-1000), Amigos del Mar (114/3-05-05)
or the Hotel Palmilla Dive Center (114/2-0582).

| The well-organized Los Cabos Hotel
Association, to which most hotels belong, guarantees the area's
hotel guests a wonderful array of equipment and instruction. Otherwise
the Pisces Watersport Center (114/3-12-88) offers everything
from windsurfing to catamarans. The popular sunset cruises are enjoyed
on catamaran Pez Gato (114/3-0408). Numerous glass bottom
boats leave from the Cabo San Lucas marina. They provide tours of
the entire Los Cabos area with El Arco (and a drop off at Lover's
Beach) the high point of the trip. |

| With miles of uninterrupted stretches
of quiet beaches and landmarks, horseback riding along the beach
is very popular. Contact Marco's Horse Rentals (114/3-0123),
Finisterra Hotel Stables (114/3-000) and Hotel Palmilla
(114/2-0582). |

| Golf has exploded in Los Cabos with
championship courses designed by the very best. The Robert Trent
Jones II designed Cabo Real Golf Resort at the Melia Cabo Real
Hotel (114/30999) is creating a major worldwide stir. The original
Jack Nicklaus designed course at the Hotel Palmilla is the center
piece of an ever expanding breathtaking complex. The Club Campo
de Golf Los Cabos (114/2-0905) has just completed its second
nine holes with spectacular views of Land's End. Needless to say,
more courses, public and private, are in various stages of development.
