Sea of Cortez - Baja Whale Watching Trips & Baja Fishing from Baja Air Ventures
Description
The Baja Mexico peninsula is a mountainous desert that stretches more than 800 miles south from California’s temperate zone to the tropics at the peninsulas tip. The Sea of Cortez in the east separates Baja from the mainland portion of Mexico, while the western shore is met with the Pacific Ocean.
The centre of the magnificent peninsula is mostly covered by a series of mountain ranges. The northern granite peaks of the San Pedro Martir range reach more than 10,000 ft while the southern volcanic mountains average 3,000 ft.
A large majority of the mountains have very steep eastern slopes and tend to show a much more gradually west facing side. A sequence of broad plains make up much of the landscape of the peninsulas central and southern half. An intricate lagoon system has formed where these plains meet the coast of the Pacific. Lagoons such as Scammons and San Ignacio, form much of the breeding waters for the California Grey Whale.
