Whale Watching in Southern Brazil

From July-October

You may not know but it is not just Canada, Baja California or Peninsula Valdez which qualifies for superb whale watching.

The Club "Les Plus Belles Baies du Monde" included Praia do Rosa Beach, in Southern Brazil in its list of 28 chosen beaches, because of its natural beauty, conservation awareness and the APA, Environment Protected Area, of the Southern Right Whales (Franca) Eubalaena australis. During July-October the well over 40 tons heavy whales come here from the southern polar regions, hence their name, to give birth and to rise their off-spring in the protected waters of the Santa Catarina coastline.When the last SRW was killed in 1973 at Imbituba whale station the species was nearly extinct. Brazil, being signatary of the Whale Protection Act, has managed to increase again the population of both SWR and Hunchback Whales.

This package consist of an unusual combination of 5 days of whale watching and other activities. The Praia do Rosa and other nearby beaches are among the finest in Brazil and offer also pleasant beach riding, surfing and kite surfing. A side trip to the historic village of Laguna is included. Among other historic events in the earlier times of the colonization, the Italian freedom fighter Guiseppe Garibaldi, married to Anita Garibaldi, lived and fought here.The house where they lived together is open for visitation. Laguna also features one of the rarest spectacles on earth: the mullet fishing with the "assistance" of dolphins.

And Morocco cultural tours take in so much more than Marrakech, such as the innate elegance of early Islamic Fez, the rituals of a hammam, the artistic aesthetics of Chefchaouen, homestays and hiking with the Berbers, and the ancient cities of Meknes and Rabat.
