Day 1. We'll start our journey through the heart of the Baja California Peninsula at 8:00 AM at the Hotel Plaza Loreto. We will drive by Bahía Concepción and its exhilarating scenery of the Sea of Cortez, stopping by in Mulegé to visit the ancient mission and enjoy a panoramic view of the Mulegé River. After lunch in picturesque Santa Rosalía we will visit the historic French quarter and the steel-made church designed by Gustave Eiffel. We'll continue to San Ignacio town, located in a luscious oasis in the middle of the desert, where we will see the XVIIth century Jesuit Mission or the San Francisco de la Sierra Rock Art Museum, have diner and stay overnight.

Day 2. After breakfast, we wil drive to San Ignacio Lagoon, arriving there just in time for check-in our cabins and, after a short explanation of our guides, we'll get on board the boats ("pangas") that will take us whalewatching. After encountering the friendly whales and enjoying the beauty of San Ignacio Lagoon we'll go back to Kuyimá where delicious food will be awaiting us. For the afternoon, our guides have prepared a nature hike or, depending on the weather and tide conditions, will take us on a bike or kayak tour around the lagoon. In the evening, we'll enjoy a delicious dinner and a presentation or video about the grey whale natural history.

Day 3. Second day at the lagoon. Breakfast. Morning whalewatching. You'll get to see the breeding or mating activity of the amazing friendly giants of San Ignacio Lagoon. After lunch and a merited "siesta", our guides will drive us to any other of the natural or cultural sites around the lagoon such as the Salina del Cuarenta (impressive saltflat), the Cacti Forest, the Kuyimá Geogliph or an interesting Oyster Farm operation.

Day 4. Breakfast. We'll go on a third whalewatching boat trip, to enjoy once again the charm of the whales and the lagoon. For the afternoon, our guides have prepared another interesting and amusing activity at the lagoon surroundings, and then will have our farewell diner.

Day 5. After an early breakfast, we will depart from San Ignacio Lagoon. Our arrival to Loreto is scheduled around 15:00.
