When you think of Mexico travel, what comes to mind? Commercialized beach resorts with ginormous margaritas and mariachi players? One of the world's largest, most populous and most polluted cities? How about wildlife?

Chances are, most people think of Mexican "wildlife" as what goes on in crime-ridden border towns -- yet the fact is that the vast bulk of Mexico is safe and welcoming for tourism -- and holds plenty to captivate travelers seeking peaceful encounters with the natural world.

Four wondrous nature adventures reveal a wild side of Mexico that few travelers experience:
Swimming with Whale Sharks
Sea Turtle Conservation
Mystical Migrating Monarchs
The Great Gray Whales of Baja
