natural arch, in Cabo San Lucas, which is the southern tip of the<br />
Baja California Peninsula Many, argue that it looks like a<br />
triceratops drinking water. The arch separates the California Gulf<br />
from the Pacific Ocean. It also bears a strong resemblance to the<br />
Hvittserkur arch in Iceland.<br />
It attracts many tourists to Los Cabos since every four years the<br />
beach of love is formed because you can pass underneath.<br />
Cabo San Lucas Arch is the most representative icon and image of<br />
Los Cabos. The arch is a rock formation that comes out of the<br />
ocean at the tip of the peninsula. Also called “The End of the<br />
Earth”, this spot is a popular tourist attraction and the focal point<br />
of a large number of photographs. The name of “The end of the<br />
earth” is because, if from this point you draw a line towards the<br />
south, the next portion of mainland distant about 12 thousand<br />
kilometers is Antarctica”.<br />

The rocks that we see today in the walls of the Sumidero Canyon,<br />
began to form about 136 million years ago based on sediments<br />
and calcium minerals (limestone), which is formed by the action o<br />
some marine animals such as corals. This supposes that, in<br />
antiquity, this region of Chiapas was submerged by a shallow sea.<br />
The Canyon as such began to form 70 million years ago thanks to<br />
the action of tectonic movements called tectonic pillar and<br />
tectonic fossa respectively 15 million years ago the marine waters<br />
withdrew from this region thanks to geological movements that<br />
formed the important mountains of Chiapas, including the<br />
Sumidero Canyon mountains, which began to suffer dissolution<br />
and erosion due to the same water, here was born the Canyon<br />
and began its formation which continues today.<br />
