San Jose del Cabo

HISTORY TOUR

A volunteer project to rescue local identity and promote responsible tourism.
 
Los Cabos is the fastest growing municipality (county) in Mexico (30,000 people in 1985 Vs 300,000 people in 2018).
 
Our logic is that in order to love something, you first need to know well about it, and once you love something, you can become passionate and engaged with it.

San Jose's Historical Experience

So teaching history and culture through story telling around the old town is our contribution to our local community. Trying to change new-locals and tourist perspective of Los Cabos… this place is way more than beautiful beaches, party and pampering resorts.

The concept is simple: join the tour, let us amuse you with Los Cabos' history, culture and legends, and the fun part is at the end you have the freedom to decide what our tour has been worth to you by simply tipping your guide. Find out in a 1.5 hr walking tour, how the natives lived, how colonization took place, pirates, battles and more...
