The Gray Whales of Mexico
The sight of whales frolic playing or cavorting or even just plainly swimming in the waters never fails to evoke a sense of admiration and marvel. Gray whales migrate annually every fall from the cold waters of Northern Bering to the Sea of Cortez to give birth and spend winter months in the warm waters of the Pacific that are rich with food. 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. Strict guidelines are followed during whale watching tours so that the whales are protected. Be a part of this tradition and include this memorable activity in your Mexico vacations itinerary.

Some of the more popular places to dive in Mexico are Cozumel, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta. The stunning coastline reefs as well as the renowned beautifully complex underwater panorama with cliffs, canyons and underwater flora makes Cozumel a popular dive spot. In Cancun, you get to choose between shallow color rich reefs in Playa del Carmen or go to the Chinchorro Banks which is the entry to the Great Maya Barrier Reef. The nearby islands and bays and sea creatures like whale sharks, dolphins, sea turtles and tropical fishes make Puerto Vallarta a very interesting and famous dive spot.
