Best Bring-Backs

If you travel Los Cabos with a few extra pesos in your pocket it's likely you'll want to return home with a memento, or 10, that reminds you of the spirit and vibrancy of this region.

Works of art by local artists such as Kaki Bassi, Wentworth, and photographer Tomás Spangler make great treasures to take back home—and galleries will usually ship the items for you. For more packable take-home goodies, the clothing options are nearly endless: T-shirts, resort wear, and clothing from hip Mexican designers will all compete for space in your suitcase. Cabo San Lucas is a great shopping town; if you've got time and some money, there's no need to worry about purchasing your beach vacation clothing before leaving home.

If you're looking for something truly authentic and hecho en Cabo(made in Cabo), then check out the blown glass at the intriguing Fábrica de Vidrio Soplado. Other fun souvenirs include the new labels of tequila offered from such outlets as Cabo Wabo, Hotel California in Todos Santos, the Cabo Surf Hotel, and Las Veritas, a popular Cabo dance club and bar.
