Your Guide To Whale Watching This Winter
Every year from December until the beginning of April, thousands of humpback and grey whales make the 6,000-mile migration from the feeding grounds of Alaska to the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez to mate and calve. A natural phenomenon that occurs annually, if you’re visiting Cabo or Punta Mita this time of year, you can almost guarantee that you’ll have the opportunity to get up close to these gentle giants along their journey!
Whale watching has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the area; it’s not every day you get to marvel at these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. This is one for kids and adults alike, so take note of our tops tips to enjoying this unforgettable experience on your next vacation with Elegant Mexico.
Los Cabos
Cabo is renowned as one of the best locations in the whole of Mexico for experiencing whale migration. With a plethora of tours on offer that will take you to all the hot spots, your trip largely depends on your own preferences.
If it’s excitement and speed you’re after, there are numerous ocean rider tours that will add a little adventure to your whale watching experience. Take your seat onboard a speedboat and get ready for a thrill ride out on the water, following the whales on their journey with a few surprises in store if you’re lucky. Check out Ocean Riders who take you to the heart of the action while adding a splash of excitement along the way!
If taking things at a more leisurely pace and enjoying the scenery is more your style, you’ll find many tours offering a little more luxury onboard larger boats where you can kick back and relax with a cool beverage in hand. From whale watching breakfast excursions to fine dining out on the water, experiencing the magic of these mammals in such a unique way has guests coming back every year for more. If you’re traveling with a larger group, there are many private yacht and boat rentals available that will mean you’re in the driving seat. Be sure to tell the Elegant Mexico concierge team the kind of excursion you’re looking for, and we’ll take care of all the arrangements.
Stay At Home
If you’re staying at one of Elegant Mexico’s luxury villa rentals in Cabo, you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your home to have a front-row seat watching the whales playing in the water.
Some of our beachfront properties sit just off the water’s edge, allowing you to catch a glimpse of these beautiful animals as they duck and dive in the distance. While many of our ocean view villas set in the hills above the Sea of Cortez, such as Casa Fryzer (pictured) and Casa Chanel, offer the perfect vantage point to witness the many masses of whales that travel south each year. Keep your eyes peeled, and your camera ready!
Punta Mita
Those jetting off to Punta Mita will also have the opportunity to experience these majestic sea animals up close. Attracting thousands of visitors to Banderas Bay each year, whale watching has become a “must” for tourists frequenting the area between December and the end of March. Just as in Cabo, you’ll find plenty of tours to choose from each offering a unique appeal, but all guaranteeing that you get to see babies being born and mesmerizing water displays from the gentle giants.
Take a look at Punta Mita Expeditions who offer 3-hour whale watching luxury cruises out on the Sea of Cortez where you’ll also be treated to the spectacular fauna of Bahia de Banderas! For some unforgettable photos and stories to share, make sure whale watching is on your vacation itinerary this winter!

Top 10 Authentic Mexican Drinks You Have To Try
Home to some of the best cuisine in the world, Mexico’s drinks scene is no different. Whether it’s an aged tequila you’re in search of, or a refreshing mocktail made with tropical juices is more your thing, we’ve compiled the top 10 beverages you have to try when you visit the country famed for its flavors!
Non-alcoholic
1.Atole
The traditional Mexican breakfast drink of choice, start your day off right with this mix of water, cinnamon, vanilla, masa (corn hominy), and piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar). You may not find this drink served in more commercial restaurants, but you’re guaranteed to find it at any local vendors out on the street!
2.Aguas Frescas
Literally translated as “fresh waters”, aguas frescas are made from fresh fruit juice, water, and sometimes a little bit of cane sugar. Perfect for cooling off under the hot Mexican sun, be sure to try some of the favourites — jamaica (hibiscus tea), cantaloupe (melon), watermelon (sandia), and pineapple (pina).

3.Horchata
Perhaps the most famous among the aguas frescas range of Mexican beverage, horchata is rice water flavoured with cinnamon and vanilla. This is a tasty signature Mexican classic that you have to try on your next trip down south! Image Source: Enrique Dans via Flickr, CC BY 2.0 license
4.Chamoyada
An intriguing blend of spicy and sweet, the chamoyada consists of shaved ice, mixed fruit, chilli, and the key ingredient, chamoy. Used heavily in Mexican cuisine, chamoy is made from pickled fruit and comes in a variety of ways from paste, to liquid, to candy (yes!), and much more. If you’re jetting off to Mexico this year, you can almost guarantee an encounter with chamoy at some point!
5.Tejate
This authentic Oaxacan beverage is made from a paste of toasted maize, fermented cacao beans, mamey pits, and flor de cacao. When the paste is then combined with water, the flor de cacao rise to the surface to create a foamy top when served.
Alcoholic
6.Margarita
Everybody’s favourite cocktail, the classic margarita, is a Mexican staple. The traditional recipe is either served on the rocks or blended and made from lime juice, tequila, and triple sec, served in a sugar rimmed glass to soften the bitterness. There are a host of different flavours you can try; from mango to passionfruit to cranberry, just ask your bartender what specialities they have on the menu!
7.Michelada
Why not combine two great alcoholic beverages into one – beer and cocktails! That’s exactly what you’re getting with a michelada. With a base cocktail made from lime juice, clamato or tomato juice, and hot sauce all served in a salt rim glass, your michelada will be topped with an upside down beer for the final touch. For those worrying about the hot sauce, you can decide how spicy you want your drink, or forget it all together!
8.Mezcal
While tequila may be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Mexican liquor, you’re missing out if you haven’t tried mezcal! Made from any type of agave, this distilled beverage will be behind any bar in Mexico, guaranteed. You’ll even find hundreds of different flavors to try in some specialized distilleries; there’s one mezcal for everyone, you may just have to try a few!
9.Paloma
For anyone who loves tequila but prefers the liquor in any other form other than the deadly shot, paloma is the perfect choice to still get that tequila kick in a softer blow. Made from a grapefruit-flavored soft drink (Fresca or Squirt), tequila blanco, ice, and served with a slice of lime, it’s a refreshing Mexican classic you don’t want to miss.
10.Mexican wine
Mexico’s wine industry has been booming in recent years; there will be no shortage of excellent reds and whites for you to sample on your next vacation! Mexico has three wine producing regions – the Baja California (where over 90% of the country’s product is made), the La Laguna area in Coahuila and Durango, and the Center region which encompasses Zacatecas, Aguascalientes and Queretaro. Excited to sample of some these delicious drinks? Take a look at Elegant Mexico’s properties in Los Cabos and Punta Mita where you’ll be able to sample numbers 1-10 from the comfort of your private villa, made freshly by your private butler and chef!

The Ultimate Punta Mita Surfing Guide
Home to some of the most pristine white sandy beaches in the world, turquoise warm waters, and impressive crashing waves, Punta Mita is a surfer’s haven. Welcoming thousands of avid surfers every year to come and make a splash in this aquatic playground, no vacation to Punta Mita would be complete without hopping on a board and hitting the water to see for yourself. If you’re planning your next vacation to Punta Mita with Elegant Mexico, make sure to take note of all the hot spots in the region to catch the best surf!
When’s the best time to go?
The beauty of Punta Mita is that you can visit at virtually any point during the year and still get amazing conditions for surfing. The westerly pointing curvature of its coast means there are always appropriate surf breaks to be found depending on the weather conditions. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, you can pretty much guarantee that you’ll be able to catch some waves. Winter has been deemed the preferred season by local surfers with slightly better conditions on average than the rest of the year. The best part? You won’t be going board-to-board with others for the same surf. Despite its popularity among international surfers, the consistently good conditions throughout the year mean there isn’t a mad flock to the area at a specific time.
Where should I go?
En Anclote Perfect for beginners, the break here is typically slow and long meaning you’ll get more time on your board (if you stay on!) to nail down your technique. Go here when the tide is low and you’re in for an afternoon of fun surrounded by stunning natural terrain. Best for: Longboarders Stinky’s Another hot spot that’s ideal for those new to surfing, Stinky’s is a popular choice for anyone in search of a more gentle introduction to water sports with the breaks being long and slow. How did it get its not so attractive name? This surfing break is located beside a jetty that provides cover for small fishing boats and the delightful smells that come from it! Best for: Beginners El Faro Found at the most westerly point of the peninsula, the waves at El Faro are usually surfed as right, and are ideal for those a little more advanced who want to tackle something more challenging, with long and fast rides. Best for: Right surfers, long and short boards La Lancha With breaks reaching up to 10ft, this a popular choice for both left and right surfers who can tackle big waves! La Lancha is renowned for being extremely consistent with the size and speed of the waves and is also known for the wildlife swimming below the surface. If you’re lucky enough, you might be joined by a turtle on your ride! Best for: Left and right surfers, long and short boards
Punta Burros With consistently good conditions and waves that are a little speedier than La Lancha, this right reef break found in the neighboring town of Puerto Vallarta is considered one of the best spots in the whole region. With rides ranging from 30-200 metres depending on the tide and swell, any intermediate and advanced surfers will absolutely love spending an adrenaline fuelled day here chasing huge Pacific waves! Best for: Long and short board, intermediate to advanced Punta Mita, the ‘Malibu of Mexico’, is home to over 20 surf breaks; we’ve only just scratched the surface! For any complete beginners, or those that want to improve their skills on a board, why not take advantage of the many surf schools found around Punta Mita and learn from the pros.
If you’re staying in one of our luxury villa rentals in the area, let the Elegant Mexico concierge team know what you’d like to get from your surfing vacation and we will be sure to make all of the arrangements for you! Time to make a splash!
