This is a wonderful tour that will take you to
visit La Tortuga Island where Sea lions rest during
the months of November through April to give birth
to their babies.
The
tour continues to pass by The two white rocks
known as "The Two Brither Islands" named
for a legend which says that 80 years ago there
was a very beautiful lady named Susana and due
to her beauty she had all the men of Mazatlan
crazy for her. One day she met a man who made
her heart bleed with love for him but he had a
brother who was almost exactly like him so she
did not know what to do in such a situation. Months
later she asked them to fight for her love and
the two brothers decided to fight and the winner
would marry her. That day finally arrived and
the two brother selected the place of the fight,
a rock near the lighthouse. The fight started
but no one wanted to loose so they fought very
hard and unfortunally neither survived beacuse
they fell and rolled down the hill to the sea.
Susana was very sorry for making them fight, and
days later the two brothers were found dead, a
body in each white rock, and since then the islands
are known as south brother and north brother.
Nobody knows what happened to the lady, some says
that she commited sucide after the tragedy. Now
the place where the two brother fought is visited
by local lovers who built a heart around the rock.
Continuing
with the tour, The Catamaran boat will take us
then to Stone Island where you will have your
lunch and to do some of the beach activities available
in the island: Horse Back riding, Snorkeling,
Kayaking, boogy-boards, or to have a typical tour
to the village of the island on board of a cart
pull by horses.
Stone Island in one of the five biggest islands
of the 135 islands located in the Sea of Cortez,
and is full of coconut trees and with a jungle
located in the other side of the island where
a good exploring tour can be made navitaging thru
canals or tunnels covered by mangroves and deep
vegetation.The choise of lunch in the island will
be broiled chicken, breaded fish, garlic fish,
a Mexican combination. An 'upgraded' tour package
