(235 km/146 miles)
Today’s drive will take us past the junction to Bahia de Los Angeles, through Jesus Maria to Guerrero Negro. This is the place to view California Grey Whales and that is exactly what we are going to do! Even for non-boaters it is an experience of a lifetime and well worth any anxieties you may have (spoken by a non-boater). This town thrives on it’s salt industry, another very interesting sight to see while out on the waters.
