Top 5 Experiences to Immerse in While Staying at the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas.
Perched in the lap of Baja’s East Cape, Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas is a jewel in the crown of Mexico’s best-kept secrets. Cradled between the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains and an unspoiled stretch of the Sea of Cortez, the resort is a world apart from the bustling Cabo crowds, just 45 minutes away from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD). As you indulge in this luxurious haven, there’s a platter of rich experiences awaiting you. Here are the top five things to do in Baja during your stay.
1. Revel in the Splendors of the Sea of Cortez: The resort graces the calm waters of the Sea of Cortez, a rarity in Los Cabos owing to the powerful waves on the Pacific Ocean side of the peninsula. Here, the Adventure Concierge team equips you with complimentary kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and a Hobie catamaran for a splash in the placid sea. For an added twist of fun, try the water trampoline, a joy for both adults and children.
2. Dive into the Vibrant Ecosystem of Cabo Pulmo: The UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cabo Pulmo, lies a mere 45 minutes away, home to one of the most thriving marine reserves globally. Plunge into the day snorkeling or diving amidst coral reefs, sea turtles, whales, and resident bull sharks in what Jacques Cousteau famously deemed “the aquarium of the world.”
3. Witness the Miraculous Journey of the Olive Ridley Sea Turtles: In an extraordinary initiative, the resort collaborates with the local government from August to October to safeguard the endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles. Witness the magic as turtle eggs, rescued from predators, hatch in a protected environment, and the hatchlings embark on their arduous journey towards the sea.
4. Bathe in the Freshwaters of Sol de Mayo Waterfall: A 40-minute drive from the resort lands you in Santiago, a historic mission town cradled in the Sierra De La Laguna Mountains. A hike through the lush canyons reveals the Sol de Mayo waterfall, cascading into pristine pools running over vast granite boulders. A dip in this spring-fed waterfall is a serene retreat from the salty sea.
5. Swim Alongside the Majestic Whale Sharks in La Paz: An exclusive day trip from the resort presents an extraordinary opportunity to swim with the world’s largest fish, the gentle whale shark, in the coastal city of La Paz. Following an exhilarating morning in the company of these colossal creatures, your afternoon unveils the cultural charm of Baja’s capital city.
Stay at the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas on the undiscovered East Cape, and turn your vacation into a luxurious adventure. Whether you choose to frolic in the calming waters of the Sea of Cortez, explore the rich marine life of Cabo Pulmo, witness the wonder of sea turtles hatching, dip in the Sol de Mayo waterfall, or swim alongside the gigantic whale sharks of La Paz, you will immerse yourself in the extraordinary and the undiscovered. It’s not just a stay. It’s an unforgettable life experience.
