2. The Arch

Towering over the ocean, the majestic El Arco rock formation represents a gateway to the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean beyond. The rock’s distinct arch-like shape has formed over time with the rough winds and stormy ocean eroding the rock and slowly carving it into the shape it is today. Known as Land’s End, this part of the Baja Peninsula is one of Cabo San Lucas’ top attractions.

Areas of Baja California Sur

There's a special time in the sky where the last bit of darkness is slowly being edged out by the first rays of the sun. Most of us just refer to it as sunrise. But I think there's so much more there. It's when the world is still asleep and the last moments of peace and tranquility fade out before the day begins. There's almost something sacred about it that we want to hold on to. But it's fleeting, which is part of what makes it so valuable.
