Los Cabos is forever shimmering with pervasive natural magnificence, which you can easily find in every direction you turn. To discover the most intricate beauty of Baja California Sur, however, you must travel northward. There you will find the charming towns of indigenous ranchers, who have existed in isolation for centuries, subsisting amid the land, rivers, mountains, and canyons. There you will discover the hidden corners of ethereal paradise. As you travel farther away from the heart of the tourist center, beyond the glitzy luxury resorts and past the Los Cabos International Airport, you will encounter an arid and extremely hot climate, with summer temperatures reaching up to 120º F in the shade
