Eco-Centric – Grupo Mayan’s recommendations

When visiting Puerto Peñasco, there are several places where you can reunite with nature and discover this land’s charms. The Grupo Mayan travel experts recommend visiting the Moura Estuary which you can tour by kayak through the lagoons. Among other highlights, you can run into any one of the 142 bird species, and oyster farming cooperatives.

Another option suggested by the Grupo Mayan travel advisors is the short ride to the 1.9 million-acre El Pinacate Biosphere Reserve. This volcanic region has a wide range of ecosystems; for that reason NASA used one its lava fields for training for the Apollo mission to the moon because of its similarity to the moon’s surface.

A government-protected habitat near Puerto Peñasco, San Jorge Island (“Bird Island”) is about 25 miles from the shores of Punta Nuevo. Best of all says the Grupo Mayan Resorts travel experts, there’s a good chance you’ll travel over with a pod or two of bottlenose dolphins, which seemingly love to swim alongside the boats.

In the same island, from early October to April, the Grupo Mayan advisors suggest keeping your eyes peeled for fin whales, grey whales, killer whales and an occasional pilot whale. Once you get close to the island, you’ll see thousands of sea lions and a menagerie of birds. Snorkeling and scuba diving among the sea lions is a really unforgettable experience that you cannot miss.
