Cabo

Cabo, also known as Los Cabos, is a municipality in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur, situated at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula where the Pacific Ocean converges with the Sea of Cortés.^[1]^[2] This arid coastal region, characterized by dramatic desert landscapes, rugged mountains, pristine beaches, and iconic rock formations like El Arco at Land's End, spans 3,752 square kilometers and encompasses the twin cities of San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.^[3]^[4] The area has a rich history dating back to around 13,000 BCE, when it was first inhabited by the Pericú indigenous people, who lived as hunter-gatherers in this harsh yet biodiverse environment.^[5] European contact began in the 16th century with Spanish explorers, including Hernán Cortés in 1535, who claimed the peninsula for Spain, leading to missions, pearl fishing, and eventual colonization amid conflicts with native populations.^[6] For centuries, Los Cabos remained a remote fishing outpost and pirate haven, but rapid development in the mid-20th century—spurred by the completion of the Trans-Peninsular Highway in 1973 and international airport expansions—transformed it into a premier global tourism destination.^[7]^[8] As of 2024, Los Cabos has an estimated population of 411,435, with significant growth driven by tourism, real estate, and related industries, making it the most populous municipality in Baja California Sur.^[9] The local economy revolves around luxury resorts, world-class sportfishing, scuba diving, whale watching, and golf, attracting millions of visitors annually to its marine-protected areas like Cabo Pulmo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its vibrant coral reefs.^[10]^[11] Culturally, the region blends indigenous heritage, Spanish colonial influences, and modern Mexican vibrancy, evident in San José del Cabo's historic mission (founded 1730) and Cabo San Lucas's lively marina district.^[12] Despite its prosperity, Los Cabos faces challenges like water scarcity, hurricane risks, and sustainable development pressures in this ecologically sensitive desert-meets-sea paradise.^[13]

Geography

Location and landscape

The municipality of Los Cabos is located at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula in the state of Baja California Sur, Mexico, where the Pacific Ocean converges with the Gulf of California (also known as the Sea of Cortez). It encompasses an area of 3,750.93 km² across diverse coastal and inland terrains. The southernmost city, Cabo San Lucas, marks the peninsula's extremity at geographic coordinates 22°53′23″N 109°54′56″W. This strategic location influences the region's unique ecology as a transitional zone between two major oceanic bodies.^[14]^[15] The topography of Los Cabos features an arid desert landscape with rugged mountainous terrain from the Sierra de la Laguna range, where elevations reach up to 2,000 meters. The municipality includes the 32 km (20-mile) Tourist Corridor connecting the twin cities of San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, characterized by coastal plains, sandy beaches, and steep rocky cliffs shaped by erosion and tectonic activity. In Cabo San Lucas, the immediate coastal area includes expansive sandy stretches like Medano Beach, a 3-km-long arc of fine white sand serving as the primary urban shoreline, and dramatic basalt and granite outcrops. Sparse vegetation such as cardón cacti and thorny shrubs is adapted to the low-rainfall conditions throughout the region. To the north, near San José del Cabo, the landscape features the estuary of the Río San José, a protected wetland supporting mangroves and birdlife.^[16]^[17] Key geographical landmarks include El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, an iconic sea arch formed from eroded granitic rock at Land's End, spanning the narrow channel between the Pacific and the Gulf. This natural formation exemplifies the region's geological history tied to volcanic and tectonic origins. Adjacent to El Arco, Lover's Beach occupies a secluded cove on the Pacific side, while Medano Beach extends along the Gulf side. These features highlight the area's blend of erosional landforms and accessible shorelines.^[16]^[18] The marine environment surrounding Los Cabos supports notable biodiversity hotspots, with coastal waters teeming with species such as manta rays, various sharks, and vibrant coral communities in shallower bays. The region's proximity to Cabo Pulmo National Park, located about 98 km northeast along the eastern coast, underscores its connection to larger protected ecosystems; this park preserves the Gulf of California's only living coral reef, fostering habitats for sea turtles, dolphins, and seasonal migrations of humpback whales. The arid landscape is shaped by the subtropical desert climate, which limits freshwater inflows and enhances marine influences on local geography.^[19]^[20]

Climate and environment

Los Cabos features a hot desert climate classified as BWh under the Köppen-Geiger system, characterized by high temperatures year-round and minimal rainfall. Average annual precipitation is approximately 250 mm, with most occurring during brief, intense events associated with late summer hurricanes and tropical storms. Temperatures typically range from highs of 30–35°C (86–95°F) in summer months (June to October) to 20–25°C (68–77°F) in winter (December to February), while lows rarely drop below 15°C (59°F). Humidity levels average 60–70% during the wetter periods but fall to around 40% in the dry season, contributing to comfortable conditions despite the warmth.^[21]^[22]^[23] The dry season, spanning November to May, brings clear skies and low precipitation, making it the most stable period with virtually no rainfall and ideal mild weather. In contrast, the wet season from June to October sees heightened risks from tropical storms, with September recording the highest average monthly rainfall of about 80 mm and up to 5–6 rainy days. Historical records indicate temperature extremes reaching 42°C (108°F) in summer and occasional dips to 10°C (50°F) in winter, alongside variable rainfall influenced by El Niño patterns that can amplify storm intensity. Pacific Ocean currents, such as the California Current, moderately temper coastal heat, creating slight microclimatic variations along the shoreline.^[21]^[24]^[25] Environmental challenges in Los Cabos stem primarily from its desert setting, leading to acute water scarcity as the region relies on overexploited aquifers that recharge slowly due to low annual rainfall. Conservation efforts focus on marine ecosystems, including protected migration routes for humpback and gray whales, which pass through the area during their breeding season from December to April, supporting regulated whale-watching activities that emphasize non-invasive observation. Climate change exacerbates these issues through rising sea levels, threatening increased coastal erosion, beaches, and infrastructure while altering marine habitats. Desalination plants and aquifer management initiatives by local authorities aim to address water shortages, though ongoing monitoring is essential to balance tourism pressures with ecological preservation.^[17]^[26]^[27]

History

Indigenous and colonial periods

The region encompassing Cabo San Lucas exhibits archaeological evidence of human habitation dating back more than 10,000 years, with the Pericú people emerging as the dominant indigenous group in the southern Baja California Peninsula by the time of European arrival.^[28] The Pericú maintained a nomadic lifestyle adapted to the arid Cape Region, relying on hunting marine mammals, gathering desert plants, and fishing along the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of California.^[29] They constructed wooden rafts for navigating coastal waters and harvesting shellfish and fish, inhabiting territories from Cabo San Lucas northward to approximately 24°50'N latitude, including nearby Gulf islands such as Espíritu Santo and Cerralvo.^[30] Their social structure emphasized kinship and age-based leadership, with women often holding influential roles in decision-making.^[6] Spanish exploration of the Cabo area commenced in the 16th century, driven by quests for pearls, trade routes, and colonization. In 1539, Francisco de Ulloa circumnavigated the peninsula, proving Baja California was not an island and charting the southern cape.^[31] Hernán Cortés attempted a short-lived settlement at La Paz in 1535 but faced fierce Pericú resistance and logistical failures, abandoning the effort by 1536.^[29] A pivotal encounter occurred in 1602 when Sebastián Vizcaíno's expedition anchored at Cabo San Lucas, where approximately 800 Pericú warriors confronted the explorers in defensive displays, highlighting early tensions.^[32] The Manila Galleon trade route, established in 1565, occasionally used the cape as a provisioning stop for fresh water, though direct settlement remained elusive due to the harsh environment and indigenous opposition.^[33] The colonial era intensified with Jesuit missionary efforts in the 18th century, aimed at converting and relocating indigenous populations to reduce nomadic resistance. The Mission of San José del Cabo, founded on April 8, 1730, by priests Nicolás Tamaral and José de Echeverría, marked the first permanent European presence near Cabo San Lucas, serving as a hub for evangelization among the Pericú.^[33] However, cultural impositions sparked a major Pericú and Guaycura revolt from 1734 to 1737, including the killing of Tamaral and another priest, Lorenzo Carranco, which was ultimately quelled by Spanish forces with reinforcements from Sinaloa by 1744.^[29] Following the Jesuit expulsion in 1767, Franciscans briefly administered the missions before Dominicans took over in 1773, but ongoing epidemics—such as typhus in 1742–1744 that claimed around 8,000 indigenous lives—severely impacted the Pericú.^[29] Settlement in Cabo San Lucas itself remained sparse until the late 18th century, when it functioned primarily as a rudimentary supply port for Spanish maritime traffic, including potential support for early whaling activities in the nutrient-rich waters. The area's transition to a more established outpost is exemplified by Cipriano Ceseña, who received the first formal land grant in the region in 1823, laying the groundwork for a small fishing community.^[33] By the early 19th century, the Pericú population had drastically declined due to European-introduced diseases like smallpox and measles, combined with forced assimilation into mission labor systems, resulting in their linguistic and cultural extinction around 1800.^[30]

Modern growth and tourism boom

In the early 20th century, Cabo San Lucas remained a modest fishing village, with its economy centered on subsistence fishing and small-scale operations. The establishment of the Companía de Productos Marinos tuna cannery in 1927 marked a significant development, attracting workers and boosting local activity.^[34] At its peak from the 1940s to the 1970s, the cannery became the largest in Latin America, producing approximately 75% of Mexico's canned seafood and employing hundreds in the community.^[35] The village's population stayed under 2,000 residents through much of this period, limited by its remote location and reliance on maritime trade.^[36] Early luxury tourism emerged in 1956 with the opening of the Palmilla Resort, which attracted affluent international visitors and set the standard for high-end development in the region.^[37] The shift toward broader tourism began in the 1970s with the completion of the Transpeninsular Highway in 1973, which connected Cabo San Lucas to the rest of Baja California and mainland Mexico, dramatically improving accessibility for visitors.^[38] This infrastructure milestone facilitated the opening of the Hacienda Hotel in 1974, the area's first major resort, signaling the start of organized tourism development.^[34] The 1980s saw further growth with expansions of luxury hotels, including the iconic Palmilla Resort growing to 53 rooms, solidifying Cabo's status as a high-end destination for affluent travelers.^[39] In the 1990s, the arrival of cruise ships at the newly dredged marina enhanced its appeal, drawing international visitors and diversifying the economy beyond fishing. A key event was the founding of Bisbee’s Los Cabos Offshore fishing tournament in 1980 by Bob Bisbee, which began as a small competition among friends and evolved into one of the world's largest billfish tournaments, attracting global anglers and promoting the region's marine heritage.^[40] Post-2000 expansion accelerated with upgrades to Los Cabos International Airport, including the construction of Terminal 2 in 2008, which increased capacity for international flights and supported a surge in air arrivals.^[41] The 2010s brought challenges, notably Hurricane Odile in 2014, a Category 3 storm that caused widespread damage to resorts, infrastructure, and homes in Cabo San Lucas, leading to temporary closures and economic disruption but spurring resilient rebuilding efforts.^[42] By the 2020s, recovery emphasized sustainability, with initiatives like eco-resort developments incorporating solar energy, water conservation, and marine protection programs to balance growth and environmental preservation.^[43]

Demographics and society

Population trends

The population of Cabo San Lucas, the primary urban center in the Los Cabos region, was recorded at 202,694 in the 2020 Mexican census conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).^[44] The broader Los Cabos municipality, which includes the neighboring city of San José del Cabo and surrounding areas, had a total population of 351,111 in the same census, reflecting a 47.2% increase from 238,487 in 2010.^[8] Based on the 4% average annual growth rate observed from 2010 to 2020, projections estimate the municipal population at approximately 427,000 by the end of 2025.^[8] The 2020 census showed a gender distribution of 51.5% male and 48.5% female.^[8] Demographic trends in Cabo San Lucas and the Los Cabos area show explosive growth over recent decades, transforming the region from a small fishing village with roughly 3,200 residents in 1970 to its current scale.^[45] This expansion accelerated in the late 20th century, with the population of the Los Cabos area rising from about 11,400 in 1970 (when part of La Paz municipality) to 351,111 by 2020, fueled by internal migration from other Mexican states and international relocation.^[46] The annual growth rate averaged 4% between 2010 and 2020, outpacing the national average of 1.2%, and has contributed to a population density of 3,246 inhabitants per square kilometer in Cabo San Lucas as of 2020.^[44] Additionally, the region experiences a significant seasonal influx of tourists, with over 3.3 million air arrivals in 2024 and more than 3.83 million international air arrivals from January to October 2025, on track to exceed 4.5 million for the full year, which temporarily swells the effective population and influences local resource demands.^[47]^[48]^[49] The demographic composition of Los Cabos remains predominantly Mexican nationals, comprising over 95% of the population, with a growing expatriate community of approximately 17,400 foreigners, including more than 10,000 from the United States and several thousand from Canada, many of whom are retirees settling in coastal enclaves.^[10] Ethnically, the residents are primarily mestizo, blending Indigenous Mexican heritage—such as descendants of the Pericú people—with Spanish colonial influences, though Indigenous identifiers represent less than 1% in official censuses.^[8] The age distribution is skewed toward younger cohorts, with the largest groups in the 25–29 (34,085 people) and 30–34 (33,057 people) ranges as of 2020, reflecting the influx of working-age migrants drawn to service-oriented employment opportunities.^[8] This youthful profile aligns with an urbanization rate exceeding 90% in the municipality, where nearly all residents live in densely developed urban zones.^[10]

Education and community

The education system in Cabo San Lucas operates primarily under the public framework of the Baja California Sur state education authority, which oversees primary, secondary, and preparatory levels in alignment with Mexico's national standards. Public schools serve the majority of local students, with enrollment rates reflecting high participation in early education; in 2020, 94.9% of children aged 6 to 14 attended school in Baja California Sur. Literacy rates in the state exceed 97%, with an illiteracy rate of just 2.32% among the population aged 15 and older as of 2020.^[50]^[50] A key higher education institution is the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Sur (UABCS) Extensión Académica Los Cabos, which offers undergraduate programs in fields such as administration, tourism, and environmental sciences, accommodating up to 600 new students per cycle. Vocational training emphasizes tourism and hospitality, with specialized courses available through local institutions and partnerships that prepare workers for the region's dominant industry, including certifications in hotel management and culinary arts. For expatriate families, international schools like Colegio El Camino, the only International Baccalaureate (IB) World School in Baja California Sur, provide bilingual education from preschool through high school, fostering a multicultural environment. Other options include Delmar International School, which focuses on academic excellence and leadership development in a bilingual setting.^[51]^[52]^[53]^[54] Community life in Cabo San Lucas revolves around vibrant local traditions and social services that support residents amid rapid growth. Annual festivals, such as Día de los Muertos celebrations, feature elaborate altars, parades at the marina, and events like the Altar Competition at Flora Farms, honoring deceased loved ones with cultural displays of marigolds, food, and music from late October through early November. Healthcare facilities include private clinics tailored to both locals and tourists, such as Hospiten Cabo San Lucas, which provides 24-hour emergency care, intensive units, and specialized services like hemodialysis. Social challenges persist, particularly housing affordability for service workers, exacerbated by the approximately 4% average annual population growth rate from 2010 to 2020 that has created a crisis with rents doubling in recent years and an estimated 50,000 workers facing displacement risks. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like Niparajá A.C. aid communities with indigenous heritage in Baja California Sur by supporting sustainable development projects that empower local groups in environmental conservation and cultural preservation.^[55]^[56]^[57]^[58]

The tourism industry in Los Cabos serves as the cornerstone of the local economy, attracting millions of visitors annually through its blend of luxury accommodations and natural attractions. Los Cabos is projected to welcome over 4 million tourists in 2025, building on record-breaking partial-year figures such as 3.5 million passengers in the first five months.^[59]^[47] This influx is driven primarily by international arrivals, with the United States and Canada accounting for the majority, facilitated by enhanced air connectivity with over 600 weekly flights.^[60] Major players in the sector include high-end all-inclusive resorts such as the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas and the Ritz-Carlton Reserve, which emphasize luxury beachfront experiences and contribute to the area's reputation as Mexico's premier upscale destination.^[48] Key types of tourism in Los Cabos encompass beach vacations, underwater activities like scuba diving in vibrant coral reefs, and sportfishing expeditions targeting billfish species. The region hosts prominent events that bolster visitor numbers, including the Cabo San Lucas International Marlin Tournament, one of the world's largest big-game fishing competitions, and the Cabo Jazz Festival, which draws music enthusiasts for performances amid scenic coastal settings.^[61] These activities cater to a diverse clientele seeking relaxation and adventure, with scuba diving sites protected under Mexico's national marine park system enhancing the appeal for eco-conscious travelers.^[62] Economically, tourism is the dominant sector, contributing the majority to the local economy and generating around $3 billion in annual revenue in recent years through expenditures on lodging, dining, and excursions.^[63] This sector supports tens of thousands of direct jobs, spanning hospitality, transportation, and guiding services, while indirectly sustaining thousands more in ancillary industries like retail and construction.^[64] The industry's expansion, rooted in the tourism boom of the late 20th century, has transformed Los Cabos from a modest fishing village into a global hotspot, with post-2020 recovery efforts pushing revenue back to and beyond pre-pandemic levels.^[65] However, events like Hurricane Lorena in September 2025 caused temporary disruptions, with recovery efforts ongoing to maintain growth.^[66] Sustainability efforts are increasingly integral to the tourism framework, with initiatives focused on eco-tourism to mitigate environmental pressures from high visitor volumes. Programs include the establishment of marine protected areas, such as the Cabo Pulmo National Park, which safeguards biodiversity through regulated diving and fishing practices.^[67] Resorts have adopted green technologies like solar energy systems and water recycling, while the Los Cabos Tourism Trust promotes regenerative tourism models aligned with UN guidelines to restore ecosystems and support community development.^[68] These measures aim to balance economic growth with long-term preservation, ensuring the industry's viability amid rising concerns over coastal erosion and resource strain.^[69]

Fishing and other sectors

The fishing industry in Los Cabos has long centered on tuna and marlin, with commercial operations tracing back to the mid-20th century when a tuna cannery dominated the local economy.^[70] Billfish fishing emerged prominently from the 1960s onward, coinciding with the arrival of Japanese tuna longline fleets in Mexican Pacific waters.^[71] Today, commercial fishing and aquaculture in the rural zones of Los Cabos generate approximately $150 million USD annually, supporting local livelihoods amid a shift toward diversified catches like sardines and shrimp.^[72] Following overfishing concerns in the 2000s, the region has adopted sustainable practices, including community-managed no-fishing zones off Baja California Sur and restrictions on destructive gear like nets in spawning areas to restore marine stocks.^[73]^[74] These efforts address broader Gulf of California depletion, where excessive commercial pressure has threatened species viability.^[75] A notable highlight is the Bisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin Tournament, recognized as the world's highest-paying billfish event, which awarded over $7.4 million in prizes in 2025 alone.^[76] The Marina Cabo San Lucas port facilities handle more than 200 vessel arrivals yearly, facilitating both commercial and recreational operations.^[77] Beyond fishing, the construction sector has surged due to resort expansions, with numerous projects along the coastline driving economic activity and job creation despite pandemic-era disruptions.^[78]^[79] Small-scale agriculture in surrounding areas, including organic farms producing vegetables, fruits, and livestock, contributes to local self-sufficiency and farm-to-table initiatives, though it remains limited by arid conditions.^[80]^[81] Emerging tech and service industries are growing to serve expats and digital nomads, bolstered by expanded fiber-optic infrastructure that enables remote work in sectors like IT support and virtual assistance.^[82]^[83] The fishing sector grapples with intense competition from tourism, which has eroded commercial profitability as coastal development prioritizes visitor activities over traditional harvests.^[84]^[85] Shark finning regulations in Mexico, while prohibiting fin removal at sea, face enforcement gaps without a full national trade ban, prompting recent illegal fishing crackdowns in Los Cabos that freed protected species.^[86]^[87] Sportfishing provides some economic overlap with tourism through high-profile tournaments, yet underscores the tension between commercial sustainability and recreational dominance.^[88]

Government and infrastructure

Local administration

Cabo San Lucas forms part of the Los Cabos Municipality in Baja California Sur, Mexico, which encompasses both Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. The municipality operates under a local government structure led by a municipal president, commonly referred to as the mayor, who is elected by popular vote every three years for a single non-consecutive term. The current mayor, Christian Agúndez Gómez, assumed office in October 2024 following the June elections. Supporting the mayor is the cabildo, or municipal council, comprising a síndico procurador responsible for fiscal oversight and up to 11 regidores handling legislative matters. Key administrative departments include the Dirección Municipal de Turismo, which promotes sustainable visitor growth; the Dirección General de Ecología y Medio Ambiente, focused on conservation; and the Dirección Administrativa de Seguridad Pública, Policía Preventiva y Tránsito Municipal, tasked with public safety and traffic management.^[89]^[90]^[91] Municipal policies emphasize balanced development amid rapid tourism expansion. Zoning regulations for the resort corridor, a 20-mile stretch between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, strictly control building heights, densities, and land use to protect coastal ecosystems and scenic views, as detailed in the Reglamento de Imagen Urbana and the Plan Municipal de Desarrollo. Water management strategies tackle chronic scarcity—exacerbated by tourism demands—through incentives for desalination infrastructure and conservation mandates, including developer commitments to build plants producing up to 200 liters per second of potable water. In the 2020s, initiatives have included enforcing the state-level Desplastifícate Law, which banned single-use plastics like bags, straws, and Styrofoam since 2019 to curb marine pollution, alongside goals for integrating renewable energy sources to align with Baja California Sur's sustainability targets.^[92]^[93]^[94]^[95]^[43] The 2025 municipal budget, approved at approximately 4.6 billion pesos, prioritizes infrastructure with substantial allocations for public works, roads, and utilities to support a population exceeding 350,000. Post-disaster collaborations highlight administrative resilience; after Hurricane Odile in 2014, the municipality partnered with federal entities like the Comisión Federal de Electricidad for rapid power restoration and the national Secretariat of Tourism for recovery funding and evacuations, restoring essential services within weeks. These efforts underscore a framework where local administration integrates with state and federal resources for effective governance.^[96]^[97]^[98]^[99]

Cabó is a small municipality located in the comarca of Alt Urgell within Lleida province, Catalonia, Spain.^[126] It has a population of approximately 91 residents as of 2024 and encompasses an area of 80.33 square kilometers with a low population density of 1.1 inhabitants per square kilometer.^[126] The municipality includes the villages of Cabó, el Vilar de Cabó, and Pujal, characterized by rural landscapes and agricultural activities.^[127] Cabo da Roca marks the westernmost point of continental Europe, situated on dramatic cliffs rising about 140 meters above the Atlantic Ocean in Portugal's Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.^[128] The site features the Cabo da Roca Lighthouse, constructed in 1772 and automated since 1990, which serves as a key navigation aid visible up to 46 kilometers offshore.^[129] This promontory offers panoramic views and is a popular destination for hiking within the park's protected coastal ecosystem.^[130] Cabo Rojo in Puerto Rico refers to a coastal region in the southwestern municipality of the same name, renowned for its salt flats within the Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge.^[131] The salt flats, known as Las Salinas de Cabo Rojo, are hypersaline lagoons that produce salt through evaporation and exhibit striking pink hues due to high concentrations of algae and brine shrimp, especially during the dry season.^[132] The area supports diverse wildlife, including migratory birds, and features hiking trails through mangroves and limestone karst formations.^[131] Nearby, the region provides access to La Parguera, one of Puerto Rico's three bioluminescent bays, where dinoflagellates create glowing waters at night. In the Dominican Republic, Cabo Rojo is a coastal cape and beach area in Pedernales Province along the southwestern shore, adjacent to the border with Haiti.^[133] It features a pristine white-sand beach backed by bauxite-rich red soils that give the site its name, along with clear turquoise waters ideal for snorkeling amid coral reefs.^[133] The location includes a developing cruise port and serves as a gateway to Bahía de las Águilas, a protected marine area known for its biodiversity and manatee habitats.^[134] Cabo Delgado is the northernmost province of Mozambique, bordering Tanzania and the Indian Ocean, covering about 82,625 square kilometers with a population exceeding 2 million.^[135] The region holds significant offshore natural gas reserves in the Rovuma Basin, discovered starting in 2010, estimated at over 100 trillion cubic feet, making Mozambique one of Africa's top holders.^[136] These reserves support major liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, including the $20 billion Mozambique LNG facility led by TotalEnergies, aimed at exporting gas globally.^[135] The term "Cabo" originates from Romance languages, meaning "cape" or "headland," which aptly describes many of these promontory locations.

Other meanings

Cabo is a card game designed by Melissa Limes and Mandy Henning, first published in 2010 by Smiling Monster Games.^[137] Intended for 2 to 4 players aged 8 and up, it draws inspiration from the classic Golf card game, emphasizing memory, hand management, and strategic manipulation to achieve the lowest score.^[138] The objective is to minimize the total value of four face-down cards in front of each player, representing distances from the mythical unicorn "Cabo"; numbered cards range from 0 to 13, with special cards like 0s (wild) and 13s allowing peeks or swaps.^[138] Setup involves dealing four cards face down to each player, who may peek at the first two; the remaining deck forms a draw pile, with one card turned up as the discard pile. On a turn, a player draws from the draw pile (face down) or discard pile, then may peek at one of their cards, swap it with the drawn card or another of their cards, or simply discard; calling "Cabo" ends the round if the player believes their hand totals 10 or less, triggering opponents' final turns before scoring.^[138] Play continues over multiple rounds until a player reaches 100 points or less, with the lowest cumulative score winning; a deluxe edition by Bézier Games, released in 2019, refines components and includes variant rules like keeping discard pile cards face up.^[138] Cabo Verde serves as the official Portuguese name for the island nation commonly known in English as Cape Verde, an archipelago of ten volcanic islands in the central Atlantic Ocean approximately 600 kilometers west of Senegal.^[139] The Republic of Cabo Verde gained independence from Portugal on July 5, 1975, following a protracted struggle led by the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC), marking the end of over five centuries of Portuguese colonial rule.^[140] The name "Cabo Verde," meaning "Green Cape," reflects its Portuguese linguistic heritage and was reaffirmed as the country's formal designation in international contexts starting in 2013 to promote cultural authenticity.^[139] In nautical terminology, particularly in Spanish and Portuguese maritime contexts, "cabo" refers to a rope or cable used on ships, distinct from rigging specifics like bell ropes.^[141] This usage stems from the word's broader meaning as a strong cord or line, often applied to mooring or anchoring equipment.^[142] Cabo Wabo is a premium tequila brand founded in the late 1990s by American rock musician Sammy Hagar, former frontman of the band Van Halen, as an extension of his rock 'n' roll lifestyle and business ventures.^[143] Produced from blue agave in Jalisco, Mexico, the brand's name evokes a playful, party-oriented ethos tied to Hagar's music career, with varieties including blanco, reposado, and añejo expressions; it gained prominence after Hagar sold an 80% stake to Campari Group in 2007 for $80 million, retaining ties to live music promotions.^[144]
