With its reputation for warm weather, glistening golden coastlines and luxurious accommodations, Los Cabos, Mexico, has long been one of the biggest draws for travelers looking to take a break from the business world. While the stunning amenities may inspire some travelers to spend much of their day lounging around their villas in Mexico, there are many natural attractions that you'll definitely want to check out before leaving this tropical paradise.

One of the best destinations for nature lovers is a rock formation known simply as El Arco. Located off the southern coast of Cabo San Lucas, El Arco is a towering archway carved from the limestone cliffs that climb up from the Pacific. The site of this epic and opalescent formation cast against the azure waters of the region can make for some memorable photo opportunities.

While the site of the stellar cliffs may be attraction enough for some vacationers, El Arco is also a popular spawning ground for whales, making it an excellent – and scenic – destination for whale watching.

Of course, the best way to savor the sights and sounds of Los Cabos is by booking a villa vacation rental in the area, which will allow you to relax and unwind in unabashed style.
