A Whale of a Holiday
in Loreto
In
the Sea of Cortez lies Loreto, a secluded and
relaxing white sand beach with scenic mountains, charming hotels, captivating
colonial missions and a wealth of outdoor activities.
A
frequent traveler to Loreto is the blue whale, the largest living creature on
Earth, which can weigh up to 200 tons.More than 2,000 blue whales migrate south to Mexico
and Costa Rica
in the winter to feed on the warm waters teeming with life. In Loreto
they are not alone; fin whales (the 2nd largest animal), humpback
whales, dolphins and other 25 species of marine mammals can be seen in these
deep blue waters surrounding the five islands in the area.
After
a sea adventure enjoy local specialties like lobster, fish tacos, and the
famous grilled chocolate clams. Further
inland you can visit the 300 year old Loreto Mission, as well as the Sierra La Giganta mountains where you can explore the thousand-year
old cave paintings.
