The Whales are the living treasure of The Baja peninsula |
|
|
|
|
|
Each winter, Gray whales, Blue Whales and Humpback Whales migrate 10,000 km south from their arctic feeding grounds, to breed and rear their young in Baja California's sheltered lagoons.
After their long journey from Alaska, the Whales arrive in the shallow and warm waters of Baja California peninsula.
The lagoons of the Baja California peninsula become sanctuaries for the whales. This is where you can see them mating, nursing and playing with their young calves.
In Baja, you can see these amazing and wonderful creatures, up-close and in large numbers.Whales enjoy tactile stimulation and their curious calves often come up to the boats to be petted.
The Baja California peninsula, in Mexico, is considered one of the most important Whale breeding sites in the world. |
