Whale Festival
The Sea of Cortez is considered one of the richest in flora and fauna. This aquatic arm was created millions of years ago with the collision and friction of the Pacific and North American tectonic plate movements. The extraordinary wealth of this ecosystem is due mainly to the sunshine, heat, winds, and marine currents. All of these ingredients create the amazing Sea of Cortez that Jacques Cousteau once called "The biggest aquarium in the world". Millions of species inhabit the coast that surrounds La Paz, from colorful invertebrates such as sea urchins, anemones, and corals to whale sharks, gigantic manta rays and several species of marine mammals, not to mention, peculiar fish like the Cortez Angel and seahorses. Many of these can be observed with just a mask and snorkel. In addition, Baja California Sur is the birthplace for gray whales (Eschrichtius Robustus). Each year, from January through March, it is possible to see mating, birthing and breeding mainly around Laguna Ojo de Liebre in Guerrero Negro, Laguna San Ignacio and canals within Bahia Magdalena (Puerto San Carlos and Puerto Adolofo Lopez Mateos). The latter is the closest body of water to La Paz and part of the country of Comondu, a three-hour drive from La Paz accessible by the transpeninsular road north. In the city of La Paz you will find information on marine mammals living in the Sea of Cortez, everything from the history of these animals to impressive displays of complete gray whale skeletons.
