35 | Thursday, March 24, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com BEAVER TRAILS TO MEXICO: The Oakville Beaver travelled with The Dessureault Family where they are pictured with the newspaper in Los Cabos, Mexico. The distinctive landmark of Cabo San Lucas is the rugged taffy-colored El Arco (The Arch) rock formation that erupts from the sea at the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Also known as Land's End, El Arco is a popular tourist attraction and the central focus of countless vacation photos. A visit to Land's End is undoubtedly one of the most popular things to do in Cabo San Lucas.
