LA PAZ B.C.S., WORLD CAPITAL OF WHALES

All we see this incredible slogan will think immediately because MENTION THE PEACE AS THE WORLD CAPITAL OF THE WHALES? This is very simple, La Paz is the capital of Baja California Sur and is located in the heart of the peninsula from where you can easily move south or north. Besides La Paz is surrounded by two wonderful and filled seas of abundant marine life such as THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND THE SEA OF CORTEZ, the latter being the most important and globally recognized as the AQUARIO the world thanks to the great variety and reproduction marine species ranging from a nudibranch to the largest species in the world such as the Blue Whale and Whale Shark

In the months from January to April each year by both the Pacific and the Gulf our city of La Paz is visited by different types of whales such as:
Gray Whale ... in the Pacific west of peace and just 3 hours of this city, which can sometimes be observed and cherished during the months of February and March.
The Sea of ​​Cortez (Gulf of California) becomes a natural movement of the vast majority of the whales that exist on this planet as:
Blue Whale .. Being the largest in the world and each year can be seen in the Gulf of California just an hour north of La Paz around Isla Espiritu Santo, this being a spectacle as its observation combined with a visit to the Sea Lion Colony
Humpback Whale .. The humpback whale is the fifth largest of all whales species and distinct populations found in all oceans of the world.

The humpback whale can be seen in the south Pacific and Gulf of California in the months of January to April just 2 hrs from the city of peace.
Whale Shark .. This is one of the most sought after species throughout the planet since very little is known of his movements also considered the second largest in the world after the blue whale fish as it reaches up to 20 meters in length and 30 tons in weight.
The only risk you run is running out of breath when you see it coming right at you with open mouth that can reach up to 2 meters wide, changing course at the last moment with a single blow of his huge flipper.
.. Pilot Whale also known as black Calderon, is a kind of cetacean that can measure up to 6 meters and weigh 4 or 5 tons. Feeds, among other species of squid. The pilot whale is in the Gulf of California during the months of March, April and May.

In addition to the above Whales, also we have to include the sperm whale and dolphin ORCA who also each year cross the Gulf of California during the months of January to May.
