Between the months of July to October, the whales migrate from south to north America along the Pacific Ocean coasts. Because of the large concentration of plankton in the Panama area, they peacefully spend more time in our waters. This is a unique show to observe these enormous sea mammals.
Mammals travel more than 6,000 kilometers from the poles to the Panamanian Pacific coast to mate, give birth, and feed their calves. Here they remain during their lactation until the two months of the calf’s birth are completed.
