DESCRIPTION
A journey to Baja California will allow for close contact with beautiful and unspoiled nature and the sight of a variety of environments seemingly devoid of life. Here, you can swim and interact in the water with sea lions, dolphins, turtles, sharks, and even whales, in an exchange of emotions of wonder and curiosity.
The Manta Rays, also known as the "devils of the sea", are close relatives of sharks, but their friendly appearance and gentle nature set them apart. Their wings, which can reach an impressive width of several meters, become a fascinating symphony of undulating movements as they glide through the depths of the ocean. Manta Rays, with their enigmatic underwater dance, seem to float among bubbles of light, creating a surreal and enchanting atmosphere.
