Three very different whales, an endless ocean and the ticking of the clock. Off the coast of Baja California, we experience a truly special whale safari. Join us in Cousteau’s famous “aquarium of the world” as we encounter curious stragglers, leaping humpbacks and a scrawny giant, right before we swap the sea salt for the dust of the desert.
There are few indescribable moments in life, and our encounter with a whale shark in Baja was exactly that. It is also high on our list of top encounters. However, swimming through Cousteau’s Aquarium has been a highlight throughout.
We dive into the water in Mexiko’s mountains – or at least our phones. Just to see these small creatures in their habitat.
Part II offers even more adrenaline – and a touch of tranquillity. Two more completely different ecosystems and new adventures amidst crocodiles, caimans and little dragons.
From the southern ratsnakes in a cave full of bats to the rattlesnake in the north looking for a cave in our car and the story about how we ended at these places.
Some tourists come back with beautiful wildlife photos. But is it pure luck? There are now tour operators willing to stage anything in exchange for the right amount of money. Also animal pictures.
We sometimes make a monkey out of ourselves, but we can’t yet swing through the canopy. Anyway, here you get a sneak peak into Costa Ricas’ primates.
We take you on a rainy hike through the cloud forest with Michael’s pictures.
We have seen the giants on land, it was time to see the ones living at the Pacific coast: the humpack whales.
There are many colourful birs in the Americas. One of the most fascinating ones are the macaws. Their colours have been part of our journey and it’s time for a brief introduction.
