San Diego - Tijuana - Guerrero Negro - San Ignacio

We got ourselves to Guerrero Negro via the Tijuana bus terminal and an overnight bus (again). The bus ride was hair raising - but a lot less so because it was very dark outside and we couldn´t see the towering cliff face that we were inches from plummeting off.

Having said all that we made it through the rough terrain and military checkpoints to Guerrero Negro at 6am. Luckily the hotel let us crash out on a sofa while they got our room ready. We watched the sunrise over the Mexican desert that morning fom the sofa and managed to catch our first grey whale watching trip that morning at 8am.

The three hours we spent on the Laguna Ojo de Liebre were very productive - we saw a dozen or so whales including babies (weighing more than a ton each!), sealions, pelicans, ospreys and dolphins.

Our second trip the next day was just as fruitful - seeing many whales and other wildlife. Photos will be supplied later - when I get around to it!

Check out rush hour in Guerrero Negro!


Anyhow, we are now down in San Ignacio (about 2 hours south east of GN) and will head out to a whale watching camp near the Laguna San Ignacio tomorrow.

Hope this finds you all well. More soon!
