10 days ago I went to San Ignacio Laguna (Baja California - Mexico) for a whale watcing trip. I was at the Kuyima camp which is an ecotourism camp. That means that the camp respects many rules to preserve the laguna environment, to avoid useless construction and of course to protect the whales.

This laguna is the place where the grey whales come to breed. They spend about 4 months here until the babes are strong enough to make the trip to the north. The end of march is probably the best time to go there cause the fathers are not really friendly and keep protecting his wife and baby, but at this time the fathers are already gone and the mothers and child are really more friendly. When I say "friendly", it's not just an expression, it's real !!! : When you approch the whales with small boats, they just come near you and start playing, "dancing" around until they are so close that you can caress them from the boat : it's just an amazing experience to caress a whale in her natural environment (not at seaworld).

Many associations make an amazing job to keep this laguna the way it is, cause it's one of the last natural breeding site for the whales. Many big companies are interested to build hotel here etc and these associations want to avoid the transformation of the laguna into another Cancun.

I'll stop talking and show you some pictures of this wonderful trip (I uploaded the majority of them in my scrap gallery to not spam my main gallery, but comments will be more than appreciate )

I hope you'll enjoy these photos as I enjoyed this trip !!
