Thanks to its close proximity to the United States and easy lift from numerous points throughout the country, Los Cabos is the ideal place to meet up with friends for a mini-break.

With so much on offer in the area, it might be hard to narrow down the itinerary. Here are a few ideas to get the party started right:

-Go off-road. Hold on tight as you and your BFFs head out over the desert and along the beach on an ATV tour. These all-terrain vehicles are perfect for navigating the rocky trails that crisscross the canyons and beaches in the vicinity.

-Walk like an Egyptian. Except for the fact that you're in Mexico, you'll be forgiven if you think you're on another continent altogether. Camel safaris may seem a bit out of place but these desert animals are well adapted to the Baja California's arid climate.

-Take to the high seas. What could be more fun than getting a group of friends together for a sunset or booze cruise? Who's to say the two are mutually exclusive?

-Whale watching. Every year between November and March pods of humpback whales travel from Alaska to give birth in region's warm and salty waters. While you may be lucky enough to spot them from your window at the Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos, there's nothing compared to seeing a whale up close.

-It's a bird. It's a plane. Fly through the air with the greatest of ease as you experience Los Cabos from above as part of a helicopter tour.

-Tequila. You don't have to be an aficionado to enjoy a tequila tasting. A variety of tour companies and restaurants offer them so check with the concierge to see what they recommend.

-Wine tasting. Mexican wines were once the middle child of Mexico's spirits, overshadowed by tequila and mescal. No longer. Today, Mexican wines, especially those from the Baja region, are coming into their own and are decidedly worthy of a sample.

-Gather for the feast. Make a pilgrimage to the tiny town of Todos Santos, home to what is perhaps one of the world's most sung-of (albeit mistakenly) hostelries, the Hotel California. Though the Eagles were singing about the seedier side of American culture, it's still fun to visit for the kitsch factor. This quaint town is perfect for a day trip when you can visit art galleries and souvenir shops or head down to the beach for a picnic. And remember, you can check in at any time you want, but you can never leave.

Now, getting together with your nearest and dearest is even easier with an offer from Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos. Groups who book a minimum five rooms confirmed with at least three nights in common can enjoy a host of amenities geared to making their vacation even more special, from signature welcome drinks to private check-in (for common arrivals) and a complimentary room upgrade.
