San Jose del Cabo

On my way to the room I find two items: a small note asking me to choose what I’d like from the “Take-Off Menu”, the ultimate flight menu preference, and my small night companion, a Mexican folk doll thanking me for my stay at Las Ventanas and wishing me good night.

The area that takes you along the coastline and beaches from San Jose del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas is known as the Corridor. It is considered the most prestigious, exclusive and beautiful real estate in all of Mexico. The unadorned symmetry of the desert, mountains, beaches and sea is complemented by unparalleled championship golf courses and some of the finest resort communities in the world.

There is no better place to experience the beauty of cacti than in the picturesque tropical setting of Cactimundo Los Cabos Botanical Gardens. Situated in the heart of the Corridor of San Jose del Cabo, this magical oasis for cacti aficionados shimmers with a tropical aura of ecological majesty.
