If you love whales, this is the place to go to watch them without waiting hours before seeing one. We were on the boat for an hour and saw at least three different pairs of mama whales and their calves. These whales are southern wright wales and go to this area of Argentina b/c the water is located in a bay area and is free from any predators. Mothers go to Trelew every year to have their calves and the number of whales migrating to Trelew has been increasing in the past five years. We were told that the mother and calf stay in this area for a year before heading to the big open waters.
The first two pictures are of the mama whale, I think. The white whale in the last picture is a baby albino calf!This baby whale was so curious it came so close to our boat and almost touched the boat with its snout! it was incredible! I felt a little sea sick towards the end, but it was well worth feeling that way to have the opportunity to see these whales!
Penguin pictures will be next. promise.
Si amas las ballenas, este es el lugar para visitar sin esperar horas antes que ver una. Estuvimos en el bote por una hora y yo vi por lo menos tres pares de ballenas de mama y su bebe. Estes ballenas se llaman Sur Wright. (creo que Wright es un apellido de la persona que descrubio las ballenas) Las ballenas van a este lugar porque esta libre de predadores. Las mamas van a Trelew cada ano para tener su bebe. La cantidad de las ballenas que van a Trelew han sido aumentando por los ultimos cinco anos. Nos dijieron que la mama y su bebe se quedan en este lugar por un ano antes que salen a los aguas grandes como el mar y océano.
Yo creo que las primeras dos fotos son de la mama. La ultima foto es de un bebe albina porque la ballena es blanco. Este bebe era tan curioso que vino super cerca al bote y casi toco el bote con sue nariz! Fue increible. Me senti un poco enferma en los ultimos momentos por movimientos del bote en el agua, pero valio la pena para tener la oportunidad a ver las ballenas!
