EL ARCO DE CABO SAN 
LUCAS
Most noteworthy of the landmarks in Los Cabos, El 
Arco de Cabo San Lucas or The Arch at Land’s End is 
an iconic symbol of the area. Centuries ago, The Arch 
was used as a hiding place by pirates, who would 
ambush and plunder merchant ships heading toward 
the west coast. Visitors can take in the views of the 
ocean while examining the natural rock formations 
carved by the strong ocean currents.

MISIÓN DE SAN JOSÉ DEL 
CABO AÑUITI
The Mision de San Jose del Cabo Añuiti, or the 
Church of San Jose, was an often-visited landmark 
for Spanish navigators and English privateers for 
nearly two centuries. The mission was finally 
established in 1730. While the mission was 
moved to the beach in 1735, it was re-established 
at the original site in 1753. The mission resisted 
flooding, epidemics and illnesses until it was 
abandoned in 1840. The beautiful San Jose 
Church that stands today was built in 1940, close 
to the place of the original mission.

IGLESIA DE SAN 
LUCAS
Located in downtown Cabo San Lucas, the historic 
Iglesia de San Lucas has become an important parish 
church. It is the main Catholic Church in Cabo San 
Lucas, and is the most widely-attended church in the 
area. Originally constructed in 1730, the rather 
simple structure is a tribute to the local history 
because little has changed in its appearance since 
then. The church is surrounded by a pristine plaza 
containing several restaurants and small shops.
