Lower California in Mexico is home to many unique and little known creatures and plants. On either side lie remarkable waters. The pacific is wild and wave swept, but sheltered lagoons provide a haven for grey whales and their new born babies. To the east lies the Sea of Cortez, where giant manta rays and colourful dolphin fish live; John Seinbeck travelled through this azure sea and wrote of its many biological wonders. From its discovery by the conquistador, Herman Cortez, up to the present day, Baja has guarded her secrets, and remains 'The Other California'.
