Los Cabos  is located at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, in the state of Baja California Sur. It encompasses the two towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo (the municipal seat) linked by a twenty-mile Resort Corridor of beach-front properties and championship golf courses.The area was remote and rural until the latter 20thC, when the Mexican government began to develop Cabo San Lucas for tourism, which then spread east to the municipal seat. Tourism is by far the main economic activity with over two million visitors per year.

El Arco and the Arch refer to the arch-shaped rock formation that makes up a part of the larger Land's End rock formation, also known as El Finisterra and is located at the southern tip of Cabo San Lucas, which is itself the extreme southern end of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula. The arch is locally known as El Arco.
