Humpback Whale encounter in Cabo San Lucas, Todos Santos walking tour & La Paz

The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a Baleen whale. One of the larger rorqual species, adults range in length from 12-16 meters (40-50 ft.) and weigh approximately 36,000 kilograms (79,000 lb). The humpback has a distinctive body shape, with unusually long pectoral fins and a knobby head. It is
an acrobatic animal, often breaching and slapping the water.

Males produce a complex whale song, which lasts for 10 to 20 minutes and is repeated for hours at a time. The purpose of the song is not yet clear, although it appears to have a role in mating.

Like other large whales, the humpback was and is a target for the whaling industry. Due to over-hunting, its population fell by an estimated 90% before a whaling moratorium was introduced in 1966. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, humpbacks are now sought out by whale-watchers In 2006 Todos Santos was named by the Mexican Secretary of Tourism as one of Mexico’s Magical Towns; it was chosen among other 311 towns. It is considered to be a House of Culture, overflowing with inspirational and artistic visionaries, and brimming with some of the best local artists, musicians, and writers from around the world, it certainly is best defined as…an oasis. Today “Todosanteños” continue the tradition of cultivating their gardens, produce sweets and bread, as in the days of “mills”.

La Paz is the capital of Baja California Sur and the second largest city south of Tijuana on the Baja California Peninsula. Despite its size (population 265,000) and position as the region’s commercial, cultural and political center, La Paz is a tranquil city full of traditional Mexican charm. It has preserved a sort of nostalgic
“old Baja” atmosphere that makes you think little has changed here for decades. La Paz is arguably the most picturesque of Mexico’s 31 state capitals and one of the most beautiful cities in the country. La Paz, for a big city, is an example of everything that is attractive about the Baja California Peninsula: clean desert air, world-class fishing, uncrowded beaches, friendly locals, and the beautiful warm waters of the Gulf of California.

Espiritu Santo National Marine Park

Few marine areas in the world can compare with the biological importance and richness found in the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California). Isla Espiritu Santo (Holy Spirit) rank among the highest in the region in biological and ecological value.

About 30 minutes navigating north of the Espiritu Santo island exist enormous rocks called Los Islotes, where the world’s second largest sea lions colony is situated; This place is an important reproductive colony having between 300 & 350 sea lions, which can be observed all year around, being more abundant on Winter when adult and juveniles arrives, and in summer when pregnant females arrive to give birth its pups. It’s also an important nesting site for birds.

Return to San Jose Del Cabo. El Triunfo, San Bartolo and East Cape

En-route to San José del Cabo, you will visit El Triunfo (the Triumph), a town that once was the largest city in Baja. Silver, discovered in 1862, drew people from all over the world and the population soared to 10,000; now it is home to only a few hundred. The smokestack which towers above the landscape was part of the Progresso Mining Company. Wealth created from mining made the town a cultural center; what remains of that today is the piano museum, home to beautiful grand pianos, some of which are still undergoing restoration. Also San Bartolo will be on our way back, which is a beautiful Oasis in the middle of the desert of Baja California and Los Barriles and Buena Vista a recently tourist attraction beachfront town because its great fishing.
