Answers to the Most Popular Questions about Los Cabos Real Estate

1. How many different ways is the region referred to?

In order of professional and local priority, the naming conventions are:

• Cabo: The universal shorthand used by almost everyone globally.

• Los Cabos: The official "brand" name for the entire municipality and international airport (SJD).
