Animal spotting in Mexico can best be done between November and March. The migration of the Monarch butterfly to Mexico occurs every year during these months, and provides a spectacular scene. In the same period you can spot the impressive grey whales at Magdalena Bay on the east side of Baja California, that stay in these waters during this time. You can also see giant turtles and schools of dolphins at the nearby island of Espiritu Santo.
