墨西哥觀鯨賞蝶的日子-Whale and Butterfly Observation in Mexico(I）

墨西哥觀鯨賞蝶的日子-Whale and Butterfly Observation in Mexico (I)

For people grown up in Hong Kong, chances to see whales and butterflies are really precious and exciting.
That is why I am so excited in late January to early March when these two wildlife experiences can be carried out.
對長於香港的朋友，看到鯨魚和蝴蝶的機會是很珍貴和令人興奮的。
在一月下旬至3月初，就是進行這兩種觀賞體驗的合適時間；我當然特別高興。

Whale watching Location -
Most popular ones are Los Cabos (La Paz, San Jose or San Lucas), Jalisco where the gray whales swam from Alaska to this gulf area for warmer water and climate.   They will also breed the baby whales in the Laguna San Ignacio, Puerto Lopez Mateos and Laguna Ojo de Liebre.  (where opportunities to closely touch the babies are much higher).

觀鯨地點 - 

普遍會到Los Cabos(La Paz, San Jose or San Lucas)或Jalisco，灰鯨從阿拉斯加遷到那裡溫暖的海灣地區過冬。他們還會在Laguna San Ignacio, Puerto Lopez Mateos 和 Laguna Ojo de Liebre陪育幼鯨 （那兒近距離接觸幼鯨的機會高很多）。

Practical Info 實用資料 － 

1/ Los Cabos is the most expensive area in Mexico due to the ease to reach from North America.  To save $, there are buses to go to San Lucas from the main avenue while taxi is super expensive.

由於北美大多有直機到達，Los Cabos是墨西哥最貴消費的地區。坐的士真的超貴，可選坐在大路上行走的巴士到碼頭。

2/ The whale watching tours are offered by many companies and choose the ones that suit your expectation.  e.g. sailing boat is mainly for the slow cruise along the bay while the smaller boat can provide you with closer distance with the whales as well as tracing them quickly. 提供觀鯨團的公司多不勝數，最好按期望選擇；如大帆船主要能慢慢給你看海灣的風境，而小快艇就勝在能快速追蹤鯨魚和近距離接觸

3/ check your hotel if they get promotional coupons for any tours or restaurants, and search up the tourist information office booth in San Lucas.  They can be up to 30% - 40% discount!問問酒店有沒有任何團或餐廳的打折印花，又或到 San Lucas的旅遊中心攤位看看，這可省回三、四成的費用。
