A small city at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula at 22.88° North, 109.90° West, in the municipality of Los Cabos in the state of Baja California Sur, Mexico. As of 2003, the population was some 40,000 people.

Cabo San Lucas is rapidly becoming a high-end holiday destination with a number of resorts and timeshare clubs appearing along the coast between San Lucas and San José del Cabo.

It is thought the first humans came to the southern end of the peninsula 14,000 years ago. When the first Europeans arrived, nomadic groups of Pericú, who survived on a subsistence diet based on the gathering of fruit, seeds, roots, and shellfish, as well as hunting and fishing. They lived a Neolithic lifestyle, without metals.

The first Europeans:

Hernan Cortes, in 1535, and Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, in 1542, were the first Europeans to reach the coasts of Cabo San Lucas.

In March 1602 the Viceroy Count of Monterrey, Gaspar Zuñiga y Acevedo, appointed General Sebastian Vizcaino to lead the exploration of coastal California in search of ports of refuge for the galleons of Manila.

From May 5 of that year to February 21, 1603, Vizcaino guided three ships, named the San Diego, the Santo Tomás, and the Tres Reyes. They sailed from the port of Acapulco north to the cape at Mendocino, California, in the company of the cosmographers Gerónimo Martí Palacios and the Carmelite monk Antonio de la Ascensión, who during the voyage named the places visited, made maps and prepared courses and journals describing the coast that would be used for the navigation of those places until the end of the 18th century.

Their maps of the California coastline are admirable for their precision and exacting detail; it was on that exploratory voyage that Cabo San Lucas was given its present name, dedicating it to Saint Luke.
