Rank : 10.0 (average on 1 votes)Coordinates : 26.825220,-113.170386 ( Open in Google Maps) Subjects : The gray whales return all in the low waters of Baja California to mate and give birth (from February to April). They share the scene with other species of marine mammals and many aquatic birds. In the hinterland, besides fantastic landscapes with cactus forests, many types of birds and a typical birdwatch typical of desert areas. Over 10,000 years old rock paintings, coyotes and other animals complete the photographic path.Recommended equipment : A good wide angle and standard zoom for landscapes and whales, a good bird canvasBest months : This is a magic place. An environmentally friendly resort with minimal, zero-impact services. It remains open only in the whale-breeding period, which takes place every year, for all the world's gray whales, in the low waters of Baja California, from February to April. I have seen whales in various parts of the world, Iceland, Canada, South Africa and Australia, but never so close. They have a special relationship with the boatman who takes you to the sea (max 8 berth boat, 5 or 6 meters). They are close to the boat, they are caressed and play delicatissima with visitors.How to get there : You arrive by car, following state road n ° 1. In the section between Guerrero Negro and Santa Rosalia you turn to S. Ignacio and then follow a dirt road for about 50 km. to the destination.Visits : It is absolutely necessary to book the boat exit, which has a very reasonable cost, as are the resort fares. The park does not have a fee.Notes : It would be worthwhile, as far as Baja California is concerned, to make a trick to the rule of Juza asking to enter a single location among the destinations. Baja California is indeed a "total" destination, which justifies a trip to Italy for at least a dozen days. The spaces are so wide that they travel hundreds of miles, in very similar environments, but with features that diversify them a lot, especially for fauna and flora. Hundreds of birds of prey will accompany you along all the trails. It is necessary to rent a car (reasonably priced) and the roads are unexpectedly perfect, clean and with traffic often equal to zero. Part of Cabo San Lucas (the extreme tip) that is becoming a bit of Rimini in Mexico, enough moving a few kilometers that plunges into a beautiful unspoilt nature. The encounter with whales remains unforgettable. | | Nearby:   Saguaro National Park West 638 km
