What's missing from this picture?
Dennis Loreto ****** Velazques stands in his panga "Pariente 1". Eight hundred pesos per hour for the boat. The boat has a lot of seats. Cost is
divided among passengers. In two hours, you truly see everything.
Whale watching in Lopez Mateos is divided into four companies: "Aquendi, Union de Lancheras, Pangas Rosas, & Sergio Tapia".
They 're all obligated to charge the same rate being 800 pesos/hour, roughly 64 USD. Dennis charges the required rates, but gives his people a longer
ride. Dennis on his panga comments "there are around 20 whales in the bay, having seen newborn whales just yesterday".
Ans. People. Dennis would say, in our safe beautiful native fishing village, we invite you to rediscover the safety and natural beauty of our
resources. It is world class. We prepare our boats, and one day people will dare to revisit what we know as so tranquil.

Can't believe it has been so long, but it was 2005 when we were there last. That year we went whale watching in all three lagoons-
The panga we were on
Most impressive thing was when the guide saw some trash in the water, he turned around, slowed down and pulled the trash from the water --- a very
good thing.
The building in your photo was a different color then---
It was so peaceful out on that lagoon---we need to return! And, I love what Dennis would say!!

Bob, do they paint it blue so you won't notice the amount of water rising during the ride?

Not sure about the time, but 20 whales is chump change when compared to the birthing lagoons North of there where there are hundreds. However, he
appears to run a quality operation. Just saying that unless you are in La Paz or Cabo and Jonesing to see the Ballenas Gris, folks coming down from El
Norte would best be served by going to Ojo de Liebre or San Ignacio, where the whale population is much greater.

great post and 800 pesos is a real bargain. That lagoon runs a good operation and did you know it is the only place that is patrolled daily by
fisheries to protect whales from harassment? BRAVO!!!! It is MUCH better patrolled and protected than the biosphere reserve lagoons...strange eh.
I heard tickets at Malarrimo were 600 pesos per person now.
Ojo de Liebre had 673 whales yesterday...229 of em were babies!
