Many years ago, the waters off Pichilingue – just 10 miles north of La Paz – teemed with oysters bearing black pearls, and La Paz was a major center for the pearling industry. A disease wipes out the oysters in 1940, and today, most visitors come to see a much larger animal – the grey whales that swim here from the waters off Alaska each year to give birth to their calves. From December through March whale watching vessels accommodate visitors who wish to see these giant mammals – just another interesting attraction in a port with a wide variety of things to do and see.
