El Encanto is not only blessed as being known as a beachfront lifestyle
community but that same beachfront lends itself fabulously to the annual
spectacle of whale sightings. From the comfort of homes or luxury condominiums
in the new residence building, homeowners, their friends and families as well
as rental guests alike all are experiencing whales breaching or whale pods
swimming by casually.
On what seems like a daily basis, there are excited shouts like “Look at
that!” or “Ooohs and Ahhhs” that can be heard around the property throughout
the day as the fortunate few residing at El Encanto enjoy a great meal on the
patios or terraces while watching the whales.
In fact, the whales are so close that there hasn’t been much need for
binoculars, which no other property can boast, given the proximity of the
beachfront.
Each year in early autumn, one of nature’s most delightful signs of
seasonal change occurs – the migration of hundreds of whales from the frigid
waters of the arctic to the warm, calm waters surrounding the Baja Peninsula.
And, from December – early April, there is no better place to view such a
spectacular event than the beaches of Los Cabos.
The whales make their way south at an average speed of four miles per
hour and complete the 12,000-mile migration by late December, staying until
late March when they repeat their journey. Ideal climate, shallow waters,
salinity and abundant marine life make the bays and lagoons north of Los Cabos
the perfect place for whales to birth and rear their young.
Of the 11 species
of whales found worldwide, eight venture to the waters off Los Cabos, including
minke, bryde, fin, sei, humpback, gray and blue. Of all migrating whales, 90
percent travel to Los Cabos. This six-month, round-trip sojourn is the longest
trip made by any animal in the world.
There are several ways to observe these magnificent cetaceans in their
natural habitat. Now, El Encanto has developed a number of preferred partnerships
with the most established whale-watching operator in Los Cabos. This
opportunity allowshomeowners or rental guests to get up-close-and-personal with
the whales.
There is no better way to enjoy your beachfront home away from home than
to sit on the patio in the morning, sip coffee or juice, enjoy a hot breakfast
and gaze out at the whale spectacle just a few hundred feet away.
This happens all of the time but only at El
Encanto…
