Swimming with whale sharks

Nadar con tiburones ballenas

Tulum y su mar es espectacular, son estos los rincones que hacen de México la tierra de lo posible. Nadar con tiburones ballenas es una de esas cosas que hay que tener en una lista para hacer antes de morir o un top ten de experiencias coleccionables. Los tiburones ballenas son inofensivos porque no son carnívoros (pero igual hay que tenerles respeto). El Mar Caribe es un hábitat que reúne los nutrientes que necesitan estos hermosos colosos, dicen que entre los meses de mayo a septiembre es uno de los mejores porque hay más plantón y los tiburones vienen a alimentarse. Los tiburones ballenas no tienen dientes y son muy mansos así que no hay que temer y nadar con ellos será toda una aventura. Así que el Golfo de México es uno de los lugares ideales para nadar con ellos.
Tulum and the sea is spectacular, these are the places that make Mexico the land as possible. Swimming with whale sharks is one of those things you have to be on a list to do before you die or a top ten Collectibles experiences. The whale sharks are harmless because they are carnivores (but you still need to respect them). The Caribbean Sea is a habitat that meets the nutrients they need these beautiful giants say that between the months of May to September is one of the best sit-and because there are more sharks come to feed. The whale sharks have no teeth and are very tame so do not be afraid and swim with them will be an adventure. So the Gulf of Mexico is one of the best places to swim with them.
