Indeed, if – as the Times put it – Mexico City is “a metropolis that has it all,” then Mexico itself is a country with everything going for it.

Located on the southern end of Baja California, Los Cabos coaxes in weary vagabonds in search of peace and solitude. Life slows down to a crawl, and the days can just drift by. This is where the desert and sea meet, and the region is well suited to adventure tourism. There’s some great hiking and camping, not to mention some of Mexico’s best surf.

Once you see the sunset, you’ll understand why so many people end up staying here way longer than planned.
