Which is the best season for whale sighting?

Whales in Chile

Chile is the longest country in the world, which makes its coastline one of the best places to see the largest animals in the ocean: whales. With more than 40 species swimming in the Chilean waters to feed on their journey from the tropics to Antarctica, from December to May.

Baleen whales have no teeth, like the humpback and the blue whale. It seems that Chiloe has the greatest number of blue whale sightings in the entire southern hemisphere, and it is believed that it has a population of 300 whales. Toothed whales have teeth. Like the orca, the beluga, the narwhal and the sperm whale. The sperm whale is the biggest toothed animal and you can see it in the north of Chile. You can see the orca at Antarctica that feed on penguins and seals.
