The Sustainable Future of Los Cabos. Public Projects That Will Revolutionize the Region.

Los Cabos is preparing for a historic transformation through strategic projects combining sustainability, mobility, and social development. These public investments will not only solve critical challenges but position the region as Latin America’s most advanced destination.

Here are the key projects that will redefine living in Baja California Sur:

1. New Power Plant in Cabo San Lucas

Problem solved: Blackouts during peak seasons

• Investment: $120 million USD (Federal Government + private sector)

• Capacity: 80 MW (powers 40,000 homes)

• Technology: Natural gas turbines (lower emissions)

• Key benefit: Energy stability for hotels and residential complexes

“This solution addresses rolling blackouts during heat waves or high demand, delivering both social and economic benefits.”

2. Overpass & Fonatur Intersection Redesign (San José del Cabo)

Problem solved: Blvd. Mijares traffic congestion

• Design: 4-lane overpass + smart roundabout

• Timeline: 18 months (starts Q1 2025)

• Property value impact: +15% within 5 km radius (per GBC Mexico)

“This crucial infrastructure project eliminates the bottleneck during high-traffic periods.”

3. Two New Desalination Plants (Cabo San Lucas & La Ribera)

Problem solved: Water scarcity in dry seasons

• Capacity: 250 liters/second (supplies 12,000 families)

• Eco-feature: Reverse osmosis powered by solar energy

• Innovation: Modeled after Israel’s world-leading systems

“This reduces stress on overexploited aquifers, allowing natural recharge cycles.”

4. La Paz Dam Construction

Problem solved: Reliance on depleted aquifers

• Location: Sierra de La Laguna

• Storage: 18 million m³ (equivalent to 7,200 Olympic pools)

• Regional impact: Supports agriculture and controlled urban growth

5. Urban Green Corridor Network

Flagship projects:

• Cabo Bello Linear Park: 8 km bike path with native vegetation

• Estero José del Cabo Wetland Restoration: Migratory bird sanctuary

• Bonus benefit: Reduces urban “heat islands” by 3°C (UABCS study)

6. “Roots of Cabo” Cultural Program

Key initiatives:

• Traditional trade schools (woodworking, sustainable fishing)

• Annual cultural festival (2% of tourism budget funded)

• Authentic housing designs using adobe and local materials

7. Smart Public Transit Expansion

Problem solved: Insufficient urban mobility

• 20 solar-powered electric buses on CSL-SJD corridor

• Eco-stations: Green roofs + USB charging ports

Projected 30% traffic reduction during rush hour

8. Cabo San Lucas Port Modernization

3-phase transformation:

1. Sustainable cruise dock: Mexico’s first “Blue Flag” certified port

2. Extended boardwalk: +2 km with viewpoints and interactive museum
