ORIGIN

This geographic sculptured formation carved by nature and patiently done through many centuries is the only finisterra (latin word for land's end) in the world. There the land ends and there is nothing more.

DESCRIPTION

It is a monumental rock arch carved by nature in the southernmost part of the peninsula. This arch of impressive beauty and international fame became a regional symbol. It is said that under its hollowness the Sea of Cortés and the Pacific Ocean embrace themselves. What is absolutely true is that it is a place of extraordinary beauty and whoever visits Baja California Sur should never fail to see it. Under the arch, the most famous "Playa del Amor" (Love Beach) becomes larger when the ebb tide is at its lowest point,. At the bottom of the sea, just less than a hundred meters down, the magic sand cascades that come from various tributaries of an enormous underwater canyon is a great spectacle which can only be observed by expert divers. The falling is intermittent, but a good diver can see at least one of them. Colonies of corals and the great diversity of fishes that populate its waters can also be observed. There is a colony of sea lions in the arch surroundings which can be seen sunbathing on the rocks of this unique finisterra.
