LOS CABOS BECOMES AN ELA 2014 SPONSOR
With only two weeks left to Experience Latin America, the Latin American Travel Association is delighted to announce that Los Cabos Tourism Board has become an ELA 2014 official sponsor.
Located at the tip of the 1,000-mile long Baja Peninsula, in the Mexican Pacific coast, Los Cabos is home to award-winning hotels, resorts, championship golf courses, rejuvenating spas, world-class sport fishing and outstanding cuisine.
Due to the abundant sea life, the Sea of Cortes is often referred to as the “world’s aquarium” offering superb diving and sport fishing that attracts anglers from around the world for the various tournaments hosted year after year. From November through to March every year, the waters surrounding Los Cabos also attract another special visitor; hundreds of whales, who migrate from the freezing waters of the arctic to the warm calm waters surrounding the Baja Peninsula. A truly unforgettable sight.
The destination is also home to world class restaurants and award-winning chefs and is quickly becoming known for its exciting cuisine. Many of the hotels and resorts are offering programs that will let you experience the unique tastes and background of the region’s culinary offerings from tequila tasting events to cooking classes and competitions. There are many specialist organic farms in the region such as Flora Farms & Huerta Los Tamarindos, which offer cooking schools, ‘farm-to-table’ dining experiences and unique event venues.
For golf enthusiasts, there are 12 championship golf courses in Los Cabos with two additional courses in development, one being the first-ever Tiger Woods designed course, El Cardonal at Diamante Cabo San Lucas. Los Cabos has rightly gained the reputation as Mexico’s “golf mecca” and offers an array of golfing options that will suit all player levels, from beginner to pro.
As Mexico´s premier luxury vacation destination, Los Cabos prides itself on quality and not quantity and the variation to offer visitors a truly unforgettable experience.
