7 Best Places to Shop in Los Cabos and the Baja Peninsula, Mexico

Artist Tomás Reyes owns Galeria Auténtica, the largest collection of original Mexican fine art in all of Los Cabos. A third-generation art dealer, Reyes represents and stocks the work on 18 different artists (including his own), each of whom he visits twice annually to select which pieces he wants to bring back to sell. One of the artists, David Moreno, is a Cabo native and oil paints local scenes onto pieces of marble.

This is the place in La Paz to buy goods and souvenirs handmade by local artisans. Some of the most culturally relevant items include pearl jewelry, bottles of damiana, and picture frames made from dried cholla cactus wood, but there are plenty of bookmarks, magnets, and coffee mugs, as well. The prices are very affordable, so be sure to leave room in your suitcase for some great finds!

Eclectic Array curates an exquisite collection of handmade, artisan goods---like accessories, crafts, and home decor---from across Mexico. Their mission is to provide fair trade and sustainable opportunities to the country's Indigenous communities, and the products they sell are authentic, gorgeous, and one-of-a-kind.

When Michael Cope opened this gallery 30 years ago alongside his wife, Pat, it was the first in Todos Santos to represent a group of artists from different mediums: painters, sculptors, and photographers. The rule was (and remains) simple: you could be from anywhere, but you had to live in Mexico. Today, Michael and his partner-in-paint Erick Ochoa (Pat has retired) showcase the work of 12 different artists, the majority of whom are Mexican.

Nearly every souvenir shop or boutique you visit in Los Cabos will have gorgeous glassware in stock ... and it is all made here, using 100% recycled glass. Come to see the process live (more than a dozen artisans are hard at work every weekday, crushing, liquefying, then sculpting glass into exquisite figures) and shop through an incredible selection of drinking glasses, vases, ornaments, and more, created with every color and in every design imaginable. Note: it's a little far from the center of town, so you may want to visit by car.

Conveniently located in the Corridor, the Koral Center houses stores, medical facilities, a day spa, and El Merkado—a gourmet food court that converges 20 culinary offerings and the latest in Mexican gastronomy. You’ll find everything from tacos and tapas to sushi and an organic market selling local products.

This ethical and sustainable boutique sells a curated selection of Mexican-made clothing, jewelry, homewares and more. It's a shop that genuinely cares about giving back: beyond providing a space for 150-plus talented local artisans to showcase their products, portions of every sale are donated to a children's charity, recycling center, and dog rescue, all in Todos Santos.
