The Gray Whales of Mexico
One can never quite describe the awe and wonder you feel at seeing whales frolicking in their natural habitat after your anticipation have built up while scanning the waters looking for these graceful mammals. The gray whales leave the winter waters of Northern Bering and go to the Sea of Cortez every year during fall to give birth and feast on the bountiful food in the tropical waters of the Pacific. It is best to watch these whales swimming with their babies in Magdalena Bay which is located just a little off the coast of Los Cabos. The best place to go to is Los Cabos than any other place in Baja or even the famous San Ignacio as there is a better chance of sighting the whales there especially during the last week of December to the last week of March. Whale watching tours make sure strict rules and guidelines are followed in order to ensure that the whales are not harmed. Be a part of this tradition and include this memorable activity in your Mexico vacations itinerary.
