Description
The gray whale is one of the most beautiful whales on the planet and stands out for its size and skin type. This species of whale corresponds to the cetacean species mysticeti and is not one of the largest whales today. If there is anything that stands out about this variety of whale, it is its migrations. These are the longest.
The scientific name of this whale is Eschrichtius robustus. They can reach a length of up to 45 feet, while their weight can reach up to 20 tons. The gray whale stands out for having a gray skin with white spots. And for having his body covered by crustaceans and parasites like barnacles.
We will begin the activity in the office in La Paz, and we will move to Puerto Chale, which is a fishing community located on the Pacific Ocean coast in the Mexican state of Baja California Sur and it is located in the northwest corner of La Paz.
Year after year in winter season hundreds of examples of cetaceans arrive on the coasts of this bay, who arrive at the Mexican coasts to breed from the cold coasts of Canada and the Arctic. The whales attract countless tourists to enjoy the tranquility and peace they transmit.
This small fishing port is considered one of the best spots to observe the Gray Whale. Puerto Chale is the fifth whaling sanctuary of Baja California Sur and the only one in La Paz. In relation to other point of sighting, this is a place where you can have a more private meeting since it is a virgin place in tourist development, we will search for the gray whales in front of Isla Margarita and Isla Creciente in Bahía Almejas . A 100% recommended experience for nature lovers.
