You can enjoy many Cabo San Lucas activities in this
beautiful part of the world. The most southern tip of Mexico hosts sports and
adventures for you to take part in, and get a real feel for Cabo San Lucas.
Take a break from the laying in the sunshine, and you can do something you'll
remember for a long time.
A cabo san lucas whale watching tours is a perfect way for you to
get to know some of the Cabo desert terrain. You get a practice session first
so you get used to the ATV, and then you're taken by a guide around the desert
at a comfortable pace.You'll stop off for a break once in a while, and the guide
will talk about the area you're in. It's interesting as well as exciting. A
good tip with an cabo trek is to take your camera. You'll see lots of
spectacular scenery that you'll want to see again.
Whale watching is big in Cabo San Lucas. These huge mammals
migrate south during the months of January to march to the warmer waters of
Mexico. You can go on a cabo whale watch expedition, and
you can actually get close enough to touch these magnificent creatures.
A Cabo cruise is something different to the usual energetic
Cabo San Lucas activities. You can go snorkelling on your cruise. You'll get to
see some marine life in the Santa Maris bay.
There is no other place on earth that offers such a high
concentration and variety of marine mammals throughout the whole year as do the
waters of the Baja Peninsula. The area has many lagoons and sanctuaries where
from December right through to April a variety of different species of whale
come to mate and give birth to their offspring. More than 20 species of whales
are known to visit the peninsula throughout the year.
Every year thousands of gray whales make the 5,000 mile
journey from the cold Arctic waters of Alaska's Bering Sea to the warm water
lagoons of Mexico's Baja Peninsula where they mate and then give birth to their
calves. Cabo whale watch is
becoming very popular in the Sea of Cortez (also known as the Gulf of
California) where visitors can see blue whales, humpback whales, sperm whales,
orcas, finback whales, minke whales, pilot whales, schools of dolphins and many
more marine creatures. Marvel as the whales return to the ocean surface after
deep dives to expel air from their blowholes, watch the humpbacks repeatedly
jumping out of the water and be amazed by the fin whales performing barrel
rolls on the surface.
At the southern end of Baja, near Los Cabos, whales are
frequently spotted near the beaches of Todos Santos. On the gulf side, near the
city of La Paz, the waters are visited by whales around Isla Espiritu Santo and
Isla Cerralvo which was renamed 'Jacques Cousteau Island' by the Mexican
government in 2009 as the famous explorer and conservationist referred to the
area as 'the world's aquarium'.
Mexico's Baja Peninsula consists of the states of Baja
California Norte (North) and Baja California Sur (South). Covering an area of
over 55,000 square miles, the 680 mile long Baja California Peninsula is an
area of beauty with endless beaches, colourful deserts and unexplained rock
formations. Apart from whale watching there is so much to do here on your
direct holidays to Mexico, including diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, surfing,
kayaking, fishing, hiking, golf and much more. Carnivals and fiestas in Baja
are an amazing experience and should not be missed when visiting this amazing
place.
The Baja Peninsula can generally be
divided into two weather zones with the northern half experiencing weather
similar to that of South California and the southern half experiencing weather
like that in Arizona. The northern half of the peninsula has dry summers with
consistent winds along the Pacific coast while the southern half has its rainy
season during the summer.
I always want to have adventure of watching whale in real life and such post always motivates me to pursue to my dream. Thanks for sharing it..
