Whale Watching is popular from the end of December through March, great grey whales traverse this area en route from Siberian and Alaskan waters where they swim 6,000 to 10,000 km searching the warm waters of Baja’s lagoons to raise their calves and give birth for 3 months before starting their long voyage back to their ripe feeding grounds in colder waters. The gray whale is seen here every year to carry out its mating ritual and to give birth to their offspring. It is a magnificent natural show that attracts travelers from all over the world.

This region boasts mountains, deserts and thousands of kilometers of coast to explore, dive or swim in.
