Caduaño - a tiny town located about 25 miles from San José del Cabo. You will reach a row of rustic houses situated around a small plaza. This will be followed by an abandoned sugar mill that hasn't been operational since the previous century, when the village was a prosperous sugar cane producing community. As you continue driving through the network of dirt roads and paths, followed by vast vegetable plots and colorful fruit orchards, you will notice numerous cattle and sheep ranches. Caduaño is renowned for its delicious traditional homemade fruit candies.
East Cape, Baja - While Los Cabos and the beaches that made it famous are enjoyed by many, there are other stretches of idyllic bliss in the Cape region, not far from the explorer's reach. The East Cape extends from several miles east of San Jose del Cabo along the Sea of Cortez, to north of Punta Pescadero, Los Barriles and Rancho Buena Vista. All are names long popular with fly-in fishing diehards; but perhaps not so familiar to many others.
El Triunfo - 4 1/2 miles north or San Antonio. Gold and silver were first discovered here in 1862 and soon prospectors from Mexico and the United States set up a camp and a mining operation. A hurricane flooded all of the local mines and the area was soon after left almost deserted. There is talk of some larger mining operations returning to El Triunfo.
Loreto Bay, Baja - For 300 years, Loreto remained one of Mexico's treasured secrets.

But once you visit a place like Loreto you can't keep it to yourself, and now the secret is out.

San Antonio - mining town in bygone years. San Antonio, small mining town, is 18 miles north of San Bartolo. Once in past years, San Antonio served briefly as the capital of Baja California Sur when Loreto was destroyed by a hurricane.
