Guadalupe Island, Mexico

Mexico has been known for its beautiful tropical beaches, but there’s one Mexican island that’s off-limits to average joes like you and me. Guadalupe Island is located off the coast of the Baja Peninsula, and it’s one of the best places to spot a Great White Shark. However, it’s impossible to book your next vacation to the area using your credit card, as it’s a biosphere reserve. You’ll need to acquire a permit before you can get to visit the area.

In this day in age, it’s more than essential for our society to be able to preserve nature. With this fact, biosphere reserves, like Guadalupe island, are significant as they protect rare living conditions necessary for the survival of a certain species. These biosphere reserves also help scientists in understanding how the world works. We’re pretty confident that you’ll be able to spot a Great White Shark someplace else.
