Whale Watching in 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. Magdalena Bay just a little off the coast of Los Cabos is the best place to go whale watching for the mothers and their young. Although San Ignacio is more famous for whale watching, there is a higher chance of seeing whales in Los Cabos than any other place in Baja during the whale season from end of December to end of March. Strict guidelines are followed during whale watching tours so that the whales are protected. Include this age-old annual tradition and be a part of this Mexico vacation adventure.
