"We are surrounded by whales." I didn't expect to see whales seeing a sense of "the hamster", one after another. Gray whales migrate from Alaska to the warm Baja California lagoon each year to mate and give birth and then migrate back to the Bering Strait. There are dozens of whales swimming in the small lagoon. This is the best whale watching place in the world. Whale watching location: Port Chale, 200 km northwest of La Paz, Baja California, Mexico
