... Wonderful postcard for my whale collection and UNESCO site👍... the largest wildlife refuge in all of Latin America and certainly the most diverse... but what is most spectacular and gives this region uniqueness found nowhere else on this planet, is that it is the birthplace of the Pacific Gray Whale commonly known as the California Gray Whale... this reserve is the winter home of more than 12,000 grey whales... often you are surrounded by several of them at the same time, the chance to see mothers and calves together, the fact that the whales aren’t just passing by but actually are living (mating, breeding) in the area, how close you get to them, the low-key approach of the whale watching tourism (small boats, and they leave each other alone and do not crowd around sightings) makes this an amazing place to visit💙... also home to exquisite populations of sea turtles, Baja California pronghorn, and unique flora across a rich landscape... Big Thanks Gabino! (✿◠‿◠)
