Beachfront property in Bahia
Sunday, June 28, 2009
One of the greatest things about owning a vacation or retirement home on the beach is enjoying the wildlife that pass by and a retirement property in Bahia could allow people to see one of the most majestic animals on earth.
Humpback whales are marine mammals that do not have a nose. Their most distinctive feature of the humpback whale is their long pectoral fins, which can be as long as one third of the length of their bodies. The fins may be black on their dorsal part and completely white on their ventral part. Humpback whales use the waters off the coast of Santa Catarina and Bahia for their breeding rituals forming courtship groups, mating, giving birth to their offspring and nursing them. Recently an article from Realty Executives states that buying a property in Bahia could provide a peaceful location to watch them.
In the fall, humpback whales leave their feeding grounds in the Gulf of Alaska, the sea of Bering and the sea of Chuckchi and travel towards warmer waters off Bahia where they spend the winter and have their calves. Once the cold weather has passed, the whales leave Brazil again for cooler climes.
Ecotourism in Brazil is also getting "very popular" among holidaymakers, who are becoming a lot more environmentally conscious. It is not to wonder then that the Brazil's tourist board invests in ecotourism as part of a larger effort which attracted more than five million visitors in 2007, generating $4.95 billion (?3.5 billion) for the economy.
Ms Rendell-Dunn, marketing manager for Journey Latin America has stated that Brazil is the "perfect destination" for travelers looking for nature, adventure and culture, as "it offers something for everybody".
