Migration undertaking to get away from the icy waters of Alaska makes them swim to the warm waters of Banderas Bay, where they breed and raise their calves, they still do not have the body fat to insulate the cold in the North Pacific

That's why they spend the summer in our region. Arriving in March, the young are strong enough to make the return trip.

While females care for newborns and teach them to breathe, swim, dive and even jump in the males sing long and repetitive vocals to woo the younger pair if possible. Some dive boat tours microphone to appreciate these lovely sounds.

Between December and March, the whales can be seen along the Riviera Nayarit, even if you walk quietly on the beach in the distance you can spot the eruption of water emanating from their blowholes, a backlash or even an impressive jump.

Males try to impress females with their size as well as his ability to jump completely removing the body of water, falling or take a big dip, a task that is no less when you take into account that weigh about 30 tons

Of course, those jumps are even more impressive if you make a few dozen meters away from a boat, from among the many that offer whale watching tour.

The humpback whale is a protected species, so that the vessels must be certified for this activity, ensuring that they will respect the distance should be kept for their safety. Touch or feed is prohibited, but the whales are curious and often provide a great show for his odd spectators who immediately removed the cameras.

A traditional watching tour usually takes between 2 and 4 hours and includes a light breakfast on board the boat. Once you locate a whale in the distance, the boat is approaching to a distance: the man exclaims with glee and admiration as the water shoots through the blowhole making sounds while watching mothers and babes frolic even smile, because there is a curve in the mouth of these mammals that makes them appear smiling at all times.

When the giant disappears under water begins the cheerful chatter of tourists, shown photos together and continues until the next whale appears in the distance and the whole show is repeated.
