The biggest mammals in the world travel nearly 3,000 miles across the Arctic until reaching the Mexican coasts to give birth to their new offspring. Whales are welcomed by the warm temperatures of the Pacific offering shelter to protect their young calves from the heavy Winter storms and give them a head start before returning north.
The best whale watching season
Of the 14 species of whales in the world, six have made the Mexican Pacific their home. Unlike the humpback and the gray who temporarily visit during their period of migration. From mid-December to mid-April, tourists can witness the visit of these majestic cetaceans.
