This wonder is located in the bay of Los Cabos at a depth of 30 meters. Its peculiarity is unique since specific conditions are needed for them to occur, there are few in the world and they originate, when the cold and persistent wind cools the surface sea waters, they increase in density and, consequently, they sink en masse and at great speed. forming masses of water that flow through canyons located thousands of meters deep. These underwater waterfalls carry large amounts of water and sediment, which erode the bottom, as well as organic matter of high nutritional value that serves as food for the creatures of the abyssal depths.”
