A quite unique phenomenon is found at the shores of the Sea of Cortez: hot water springs flow directly into the sea near the shoreline. You can see the hot steam rising from the sand and have to be careful: when the tide is low and the cold sea water is lower the hot water can be very hot to walk in! Visitors can build small ponds from the rocks to set the right mix of the colder sea water and the hot spring water and this was exactly what we did!

Before enjoying the water we climbed to the hills and had a look at the magnificient scenery. We also spotted whales coming up and submerging slowly, in a very royal manner. The back of the huge animals looked rugged and black and white as they slowly drifted along the coastline, about a hundred meters away.
