The
Adventure with the Friendly Grey Whales of San Ignacio Lagoon
With more than 10 years
receiving adventurous whale watchers Kuyimá has developed this 4-day/3-night adventure in Kuyimá's Eco-Lodge to give you one of the most amazing
experiences of your lifetime. Where is the
Eco-Lodge and what is it like?
It is
35 miles south of San Ignacio
town, by the most pristine Whale Sanctuary of the world:
San Ignacio Lagoon. We have
10 rustic yet cozy thatched huts (or cabins), with wonderful sea and
sky views. Each cabin is designed to accomodate two persons,
for a maximum capacity of 20 people. It is possible to
accomodate also a small kid with two adults.
How will I
see the whales?
Every day, weather permitting, we will take you
in a small, safe motorboat for up yo 8 people, through part of
the sanctuary, to the whale watching area. We go
in the morning, and watch the whales and their babies for
a few hours. The activity is fairly regulated, so, only a few boats are allowed on the Lagoon at
the same time in order to protect the whales and the
undisturbed enviroment where they mate and breed. You will see them closer than you ever thought!!!
Which
other facilities are there in the camp?
We all gather
and share our meals in the Main Palapa, where delicious
seafood and Mexican food is prepared and served for your
delight. Special diets can be provided if requested well in advance. Our lodge has also clean and comfortable, yet
environment-friendly toilets, as well as sun-heated
fresh-water showers. We believe in comfort Ecotourism!
What else can I do
in San Ignacio Lagoon?
Besides
whalewatching, Kuyimá Eco-Lodge offers you interesting guided
car, hike, bike and kayaking tours to different othrer natural and
cultural highlights around the lagoon.
When
is the best time to go and for how long?
Whales
arrive to the lagoon by mid December, however they become
friendlier when thier babies have grown a bit, from mid
January on. Most people come to see whales in February and March,
but any time between mid January and mid April is excelent to
enjoy this unique spectacle. Kuyimá highly recommends this
4-day/3-night program, so you can take full advantage of the trip to
San Ignacio lagoon and consider any weather issue that may
prevent going whalewatching in any given day.
See
our calendar for
available dates next season. Book in advance since we
only have room for 20 guest and the season
is quite short. Ask for our shoulder season (December,
January and April) discounted rates. We
had fun in our last trip in April!
