Touch down in Baja California to discover lunar landscapes abundant with otherworldly nature. Out in the surrounding waters, we can connect you with a stellar collection of whales, including humpbacks, orcas and pilots.
Baja California is a 775 mile long peninsular that divides the Sea of Cortez (otherwise known as the Gulf of California) and the Pacific Ocean. Baja California is a land of true contrasts. Stark deserts meet azure seas, rich in marine mammals. It’s for this reason that Baja California is a whale watching paradise. No other destination offers such a variety of whales – fin, blue, humpback, orcas, sperm, pilot and grey. Every year thousands of grey whales come to calve in the calm bays of Magdalena and San Ignacio.
But it’s not all about the whales. On your trip to Baja California you can also explore lunar landscapes, home to weird and wonderful plants and reptiles.
A passion for travel runs right through every one of our experts - meaning they're always ready with first-hand insight about their specialist countries.
