Whales Whales Whales

Each year, at Laguna San Ignacio in Baja California, a population of California Grey Whales returns to mate and raise their young in preparation for their Spring migration north.  One can stand on shore and see non-stop spy-hops, breaches, and other activity.  Those who venture onto the water in a closely-regulated outing have the chance of very close interaction with these gentle giants of the deep.

This area has been designated a world heritage site and was rescued from an effort to turn it into the world's largest salt factory only a few years ago.

We have been fortunate enough to visit this site twice on NRDC tours with Baja Discovery.  Below are some links to photos, videos and other resources.
