Villa Del Arco
The resort was outstanding! Linda and I had purchased a “Trial Package which gave us six weeks to use here. Everything you wanted was at the hotel with 5 restaurants, small quick shop, spa and much more. Very well done, if you get the right package that fits your needs. You can use the weeks at one of 9 other Villa Group Resorts on Baja and the mainland of Mexico.

Glass Blowing Factory
The Work - Hot
This was one of the things we talked about making sure we visited while we were in Cabo. Very interesting to watch as they went thru the process.
By holding the hot glass down and spinning, it keeps it even all around.
Here he is blowing the glass into a container to make it the shape of a water glass.

Trip to "Lands End"
El arco
The Arch is an icon of Cabo San Lucas & the Los Cabo area. Each country and each geographical place has its recognizable and famous icons, Los Cabos and specifically Cabo San Lucas has its own in The Arch (El Arco) in the so-called “Land’s End” (Latin: Finis terrae; Spanish: Final de la Tierra) where the sea kisses the rock of Baja. The Arch of Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos is an imposing and majestic rock formation, a natural arch at the very tip of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, in the state of Baja California Sur in Mexico.
This arch is also the one that separates the Gulf of California (also called the Sea of Cortez) from the Pacific Ocean, if you are an avid observer you will realize that these two separate sections have distinct fish, seawater has a different color and even the waves and wave patterns are distinguishable. It’s a wonder of nature that identifies Los Cabos, is a great tourist attraction and brings a lot of tourism to Cabo San Lucas. Just as you cannot visit Paris and not go through the Eiffel Tower, you cannot visit the Los Cabos area and not take a yacht, boat or catamaran to take you closer on a visit to observe, enjoy and take photos of The Arch.
Around the golden hills of the arch and its surroundings, there are four main beaches, the most visited are Playa del Amor (Lover’s Beach or Love Beach), Playa del Divorcio (Divorce Beach) and Playa del Pelícano (Pelican Beach). On these beaches you can see many colorful fish even without snorkeling equipment, without a doubt they are among the best beaches in the area with views of the rocky landscape, very crystalline water, golden sand. Lover’s Beach (Playa del Amor) is quieter, you can sunbathe, swim and maybe enjoy snorkeling if you bring the equipment, although you have to be careful with the boats that arrive. Depending on the tide, the beach area can be very small. About 300 feet away to the west is Divorce Beach (Playa del Divorcio), it has very strong waves and it is definitely not a place to go into the sea, it is very dangerous. Sometimes it is used for other activities, when I went there, they were using the southern part for skimboarding. It is said that every certain number of years (they say each leap year) the conditions of the sea and sands uncover an extension of the Playa del Amor that allows you to walk under the arch. It is not surprising that an accumulation of sand under the arch will depend on how the rains behave and how much material has come down from the mainland to the coast. The sand that is deposited under the arch is exposed and some boats take advantage of dropping tourists off so they can enjoy this unusual phenomenon. If you take the chance you have to be careful because the tide and the waves can rise suddenly (people have been swept away and lost their lives, so it’s no joke). Take into account that this activity is strictly prohibited by the Harbor Master’s Office and we are not recommending it!
