I am the type of person who loves going to the mountains or beaches. I’ve traveled to many places just to see beaches from all over the world. Last January, my good friends Ardie and Kyle invited me to join them for their trip to Los Cabos. Since I’ve been to many beaches before, I guessed it was nothing special but just the usual beach with hotel resorts and common activities. Of course I still wanted to enjoy a good vacation but there wasn’t really much excitement on my part. But that perception changed upon reaching Los Cabos.
Although still burdened with heavy bags, we headed for the beach instead of our reserved accommodations. Our contact and guide Julio, insisted that we go straight to the beach. I thought then why can’t the walk to the beach wait? Upon reaching the beach, there were a lot of people on the shore and several boats on the waters. We moved in for a closer look, and there they were! There was a group or family of gray whales just roaming around near the shore unafraid of humans. Some of the boats were so near to them but they seem unbothered. I’ve always been fascinated with whales, and seeing them up close for the first time was exhilarating. It was barely an hour since I arrived at Los Cabos Mexico and I thought then I would enjoy the place. I was right to come along; well actually, my friends were because they insisted that I join them.
After that brief moment by the beach, we headed off to a hotel in Los Cabos where we unpacked our things and settled for awhile. That time, instead of taking a rest or eating, I asked my friends if we could go back to the beach and rent a small boat. Kyle looked at me with a grin thinking how I quickly had a change of heart. After a few minutes we headed back to the beach where there were some boats which you could rent for a few hours. We found ourselves a cheap but sturdy boat and went to see the whales. And there I was, a few feet from these large amazing animals. The splashes the whales made on the waters got us all wet and enormous as they may seem, you could feel that they are actually gentle creatures. I was asking myself why I never bothered to visit the place before although I’ve heard so much about it from others. Now, I’m planning to go back to Los Cabos after a month, but this time, I’ll do it on my own. Maybe next time, it won’t be just whales I’d be spending time with.
To check the whales up close go to this places:
- Puerto San Carlos
- La Ventana
- Boca del Alamo
Los Cabos Mexico is a famous destination point with your not so usual attractions. Imagine sharing the waters with whales? I also enjoyed our nights out to different bars and indulging myself to eating different types of food. I think the place is pleasurably addictive and I am so glad I joined my friends.
