DESCRIPTION
With a length that can exceed 12 meters, the Tiburón Ballena is the largest known fish. Despite its imposing size, it is known for its peaceful nature and calm behavior. The Tiburón Ballena is a true global traveller. Its migrations can cover incredible distances, crossing oceans and seas. These movements are still the subject of study by marine scientists. The Whale Shark, known for its peaceful disposition, grants divers the opportunity to swim alongside it, allowing them to hold on.
La Paz is also a starting point for approaching the huge and harmless Tiburón Ballena that frequent the bay from November to spring, with which you can safely swim, and for exciting boat cruises among the beautiful islands of the Sea of Cortez.
