Explore the Sea of Cortez, the World's Aquarium

 

The Sea of Cortez, also known as the Gulf of California, is a gifted region of the world. It's located between the Baja California Peninsula and the States of Sonora and Sinaloa in Mexico. The Colorado, Fuerte, Mayo, Sinaloa, Sonora, and the Yaqui rivers all flow into it, giving it uniquely rich water. Its flora and warmer temperatures call a slew of marine animals to it. This prompted Jacques Cousteau to name it the World's Aquarium.

While there are many places to go and things to do and see in the Gulf of California, in this post, Brit Olom Tours, Inc. in Miami, FL will share the top three stops you must make during your visit.

The turquoise water, a balancing rock, and the desert. These are some of the wonderful things you will find upon your visit to Balandra Beach in Baja California Sur. Some consider it the most beautiful beach in Mexico.

Cabo Pulmo is probably the most important spot in the Sea of Cortez. There is a coral reef that is rich with marine life. You can explore this area and find a wide array of flora and fauna, like sea turtles, whales, sharks, and rays.

San Carlos, located in the Mexican state of Sonora, is a gifted place where the desert meets the sea. Its calm waters make it a perfect spot to enjoy water activities. Plus, you can explore the desertic landscape and take a hike through Nacapule Canyon (just bring enough water and sunscreen).
