Highlights
Experience one of the most incredible close up wildlife encounters on the planet with the friendly gray whales of Magdalena Bay. Located on Baja’s Pacific Coast, Magdalena Bay is a world renowned winter nursery grounds of the California gray whale. Late December through mid March, hundreds of gray whales mate and bear their young in these protected waters after traveling over 5000 miles from the Bering Strait. The gray whale calving lagoons gained acclaim in the early 1970s when a gray whale made contact with a local fisherman, allowing him to pat her head. Word spread of this remarkable occurrence both among the fishermen and apparently among the gray whales, who now eagerly approach whale watching boats and interact freely with guests on board.

About Loreto
Loreto is a small town on the Sea of Cortez in Baja California Sur, with the first permanent mission of the Californias and a marine park offshore.
Loreto sits on the Gulf of California, also called the Sea of Cortez, on the eastern coast of the Baja California peninsula, below the Sierra de la Giganta mountains. In 1697 Jesuit missionaries founded the mission of Nuestra Señora de Loreto here, the first permanent mission in the Californias, and the town was the capital of the Spanish territory for decades. The stone mission church and its museum stand in the old centre.
