- Day 1: Adventure and Whales
We will start early, at 4:30 AM, with pickup from your hotel in downtown Cali. We will travel by private vehicle to Buenaventura, where you can see how the landscapes change from the mountains to the Pacific coast.
Upon arriving in Buenaventura, we will get on a boat that will take us to Juanchaco, a charming town fishing There we will begin our maritime adventure, with the exciting search for humpback whales in the waters of the Pacific. During the boat ride, you`ll be able to marvel at the spectacular views of the ocean and coastline.
< div style="text-align: justify;">In Juanchaco, our local and native guides will receive us and take us on a specialized boat for whale watching. We will sail to areas where humpback whales usually appear, hoping to see these magnificent mammals in their natural habitat. Our guides will be on hand to point out the whales and share fascinating information about them.
The humpback whale show is especially impressive, since the calves, about two months old, are very active and playful. In addition to the whales, it is possible to spot dolphins, pelicans and sea turtles, further enriching this experience.
After the sighting, we will explore the nearby caves and cliffs, depending on the tide. These places offer impressive views and are ideal for taking photographs and enjoying nature in its purest state. Then, we will enjoy a delicious lunch and free time on the beach in Juanchaco, where you can swim, relax in the sand and absorb the beauty of the surroundings. b>
