Context

After traveling thousands of kilometers from the cold waters of the south of the continent, humpback whales arrive in the Colombian Pacific to breed, give birth and accompany their calves during their first weeks. Between July and October, approximately, their blows, fins and leaps transform the horizon. The experience can begin from a beach or terrace and continue on a responsible boat: watching them does not mean getting close at all costs, but learning to wait and letting them be the ones who set the terms of the encounter.
