Where to go at La Paz

Protected by UNESCO, this place to visit has one of the best preserved ecosystems in the peninsula. Evidence has been found of men stepping on it 40,000 years ago, but now it is home to sea lions, manta rays, dolphins, turtles and, during the season, gray whales and gray sharks pass through it.

With the arrival of winter, the gray whale travels kilometers, from the Bering Sea in Alaska to the Mexican seas, in search of its warm waters to procreate and give birth to their young. If you want to be part of the spectacular swim of the whales along with their calves, you must travel during the first three months of the year and take a tour to enjoy these majestic animals. The closest place from La Paz to see whales is the Bahía de Magdalena and, if you are lucky, it will pass so close that you can caress it.
