Night tour of turtle nesting in Juan Venado Island

Description

Our invitation for you is to schedule this tour between July and October. During these months is the nesting season for sea turtle, and there is a big presence of mother turtle (particularly Olive Ridley or paslama) coming to the beach to lay their eggs.

Our meeting point is the Visitor Center in Las Peñitas community. There we will take a boat and come to the reserve, where we will walk to the Palo de Oro project center located in the beach, right in front of the ocean. The project include a nursery for sea turtle protection, conservation and reproduction.

After a small talk by our guide about the conservation work in the center, we will start a 5 kilometers walk on the reserve beach, and we will appreciate those beautiful reptiles in danger of extinction.

If we are lucky, we will not just observe the mother turtle nesting, but we will participate in the task of relocating the eggs from the nest to the nursery, where they will be protected until the babies turtle birth.

Taking this tour at the end of October will let you observe new born baby turtles, and also have the experience of releasing them on the beach, after the sunset.

This tour has 3.5 hours of lenght. We will return to the Visitor Center in Las Peñitas, where it will be finished.

Bring water, repelent, confortable cloth and footwaer for walking on sand, and a flahslight.
