The Los Cabos Business Association is evaluating plans to revive the Cabo San Lucas Recreational Bike Path, known as the Ciclovía, a community space that served as a gathering point for families, athletes and visitors for more than a decade.
While no reopening date has been announced, business leaders say the initiative could strengthen community engagement while boosting economic activity and tourism in downtown Cabo San Lucas.
The Ciclovía ceased operations in July 2023 due to a lack of financial and institutional support, ending a 14-year run. During that period, residents and tourists were able to walk, cycle and participate in recreational activities along a roughly 1.2-kilometer route on Marina Boulevard, extending from Puerto Paraíso mall to the entrance of Pedregal.
Beyond encouraging healthy lifestyles, the program offered an alternative way to experience the city’s tourist district outside its traditional entertainment options.
Business Leaders Champion Recreation Revival
Carlos Tinoco, president of the Los Cabos Business Association, said restoring the bike path is among the organization’s top priorities.
“We are considering bringing back the Recreational Bike Path. Now that we are once again leading the association, it is one of the issues we need to address,” Tinoco said.
He noted that growing interest in sports and outdoor recreation across Baja California Sur presents an opportunity to reclaim the space. According to Tinoco, the Ciclovía not only promotes physical activity but also supports local businesses and enhances the image of downtown Cabo San Lucas as a tourism destination.
“It revitalizes the tourist area because this part of the city is not just about nightlife. We can offer visitors other recreational and sporting activities,” he said.
If approved, the project would once again provide a popular Sunday activity for residents and tourists while helping stimulate commerce and diversify the destination’s tourism offerings.
