Cerralvo Island & La Ventana

La Ventana is framed gloriously by the beautiful rustic landscape of Cerralvo Island – home to an abundance of rich pelagic life thanks to one of the deepest trenches in the Gulf of California on the east coast of the Island. The area has become a hot spot in recent years for the spectacular display of mobula munkiana (a close cousin of the manta ray) leaping out of the water like popcorn.

Every year in April – June, huge groups of these pygmy devil rays congregate in their hundreds and thousands near the surface of the water! We join them at a distance, calmly and respectfully, mesmoraized by the fever’s beauty.
