In the last meeting of the security table, local authorities and businessmen of Los Cabos addressed an issue that has generated multiple complaints and concern among residents and visitors: excessive noise in some establishments, particularly in the vibrant tourist area of ​​Cabo San Lucas. .

The increase in the decibel level in bars, discos and other nightclubs has led the General Directorate of Ecology and Environment to intensify operations to ensure that the noise limits established by municipal regulations are respected.

Raúl Verdugo Montaño, general director of Ecology and Environment of Los Cabos, explained in an interview with CPS Noticias that his department has been active in the inspection of establishments, especially in the central areas of San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. . These actions seek to educate homeowners about permitted noise levels and other regulations they must follow.

“Since 2021 we have been working on this. The first thing we did was write a letter to begin the visits, we started in the historic center of San José del Cabo. In that document we indicated the decibels that must be respected and the schedules, as well as the final destination of the urban solid waste and other activities that the tenants must respect,” explained Verdugo Montaño.

The Los Cabos Coordinating Council has been a crucial voice in calling for stricter operations in the area. In its request, the Council has highlighted the need to review the night establishments and certain industrial estates in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo. The objective is clear: verify that venues respect decibel limits and that those who do not face appropriate consequences.

“We are responding to the request of the Los Cabos Coordinating Council to carry out operations in tourist centers and corridors. It is essential to verify who is not respecting the noise limits and proceed with the corresponding procedures,” added Verdugo Montaño.

Despite the efforts, Verdugo Montaño pointed out that some establishments, after being warned, repeat violations of noise limits in a matter of days. This repetitive behavior not only affects the tranquility of the local community but could also negatively impact the experience of tourists, who seek to enjoy the beauty and serenity that Los Cabos offers.

In response to these recurrences, Verdugo Montaño called on the owners of the establishments to respect the provisions of the municipal regulations. In addition, he urged the Directorate of Revenue not to authorize extraordinary hours to establishments that are problematic or repeat offenders in violating noise regulations.

Noise pollution is a serious problem that can affect both the health of residents and the reputation of a tourist destination. Excessive noise can cause stress, sleep disturbances and other health problems in people with prolonged exposure. In a place as dependent on tourism as Los Cabos, maintaining a balance between entertainment and quality of life is essential.
