Looking over the Sea of Cortez, it is hard to put into words the beauty of Le Blanc Spa Resort in Los Cabos! I could have stayed in my room and enjoyed my balcony the entire time. My view was absolutely sublime. I relaxed on my balcony and saw the whales going by, watched gliders searching for whales, and enjoyed the numerous pelicans diving for their prey. It was amazing to see whales so close to shore, but there is a big drop off along the Sea of Cortez, and it is quite deep, so they do come in quite close!

One afternoon in Cabo.
I am headed to Cabo very soon and am so looking forward to soaking in its beauty! I’ll be hanging on the beach, diving, whale watching in Magdalena Bay with Red Travel Mexico March 12-14 (still spots available!), and checking out La Paz and Isla Espíritu Santo hoping to snorkel with whale sharks and sea lions! Add in a bit of kayaking in Balandra Bay, and I’m going to be a super happy camper! You can bet I will have a zillion photos to share, but for now, enjoy one afternoon in Cabo.
