Sea of Cortez Mexico ポストカード

The Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California, is a narrow body of water separating the Baja California Peninsula from mainland Mexico. Famously called 'the world's aquarium' by Jacques Cousteau, this rich marine environment is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including migrating whales, massive schools of fish, and curious sea lions. Visitors can encounter exotic marine life in stunning encounters, such as swimming with gentle whale sharks, the largest fish in the sea, or playful sea lions at Los Islotes. Whales, including blue, fin, and humpback, pass through during their migrations, making the Sea of Cortez a world-class destination for observing marine mammals against a dramatic desert and mountain backdrop.
