The director of the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Trust, Javier Aranda Pedrero, said that this tourist destination is ideal for sighting humpback whales.
“It’s a privilege that in the winter season, tourists will have the opportunity to observe the humpback whales that migrate to the Bay of Banderas each year.”
He added that Puerto Vallarta is undoubtedly one of the “most complete sun and beach destinations in the Mexican Republic, having a wide variety of ecotourism activities, without neglecting its responsibility to the environment.”
He said that the calm waters of the Mexican Pacific Ocean are ready to receive the more than two thousand humpback whales that year after year come together in this destination to perform their mating ritual.

He stressed that the “marine giants” give a fantastic show with jumps and flutters, which can be seen just a few meters away from the boat or between 200 and 500 meters from the beach.
“However, it is important to respect the space, since they use this season to carry out their courtship or in case of those who are already pregnant, give birth to their calves,” he said.
