San José Del Cabo Sights

  1. Estero San José

    Although the Puerto Los Cabos development is taking a devastating toll upon the San José estuary - especially near the ocean - it's still one of the town's most delightfully peaceful spots and a good place to squeeze in a little bird watching. It is, at least in name, a protected wildlife sanctuary and home to many bird species, including frigate birds, sparrow hawks, white herons and red-tailed hawks.

  2. Paseo del Estero

    From near the corner of Benito Juárez, this palm-lined pedestrian trail parallels Mijares all the way to the zona hotelera . This is a peaceful alternative to the boulevard, but it may not always be passable because of high water levels, especially after rains. In colonial times, pirates took occasional refuge in the estuary between raids on Spanish galleons.

  3. Reserva de la Biosféra Sierra de la Laguna

    The lush forests of the 1128-sq-km (434-sq-mi) Sierra de la Laguna are rugged, remote and largely uninhabited, although they teem with animals and plants, many of them unique to the area. Adventurous and experienced hikers will have a field day here, but trails are often poorly marked. Consider hiring a guide or joining an organized group hike.
