Museum of Natural History in Cabo San Lucas
About This Museum
Tucked away in the bustling heart of Cabo San Lucas, this small museum is a quiet refuge for anyone curious about what existed long before the resorts and sportfishing. Visitors step inside to escape the sun and discover a deep-time narrative of the Baja Peninsula, told through its rocks and artifacts. You won't find towering dinosaur skeletons here; instead, the focus is on an intimate journey through millions of years of geological upheaval and millennia of human persistence. It’s a place that grounds you, connecting the vibrant modern town outside its doors to a ancient and dramatic past.
Collection Highlights
The exhibits walk you from the formation of the iconic granite arches at Land's End right up to encounters with Spanish galleons. Don't miss the collection of perfectly preserved spear points used by ancient Pericú hunter-gatherers or the fascinating display on extinct giant oysters.
Visitor Information

Architecture & Building
