Before starting the walk, receive an informative talk from local guides about the importance of sea turtle conservation, as well as the rules to follow during the observation of the turtles.

Walk in small groups guided by local experts along the beach, keeping a safe distance to not disturb the turtles. During the walk, see sea turtles (mainly green and leatherback turtles) emerging from the ocean and looking for a suitable place to nest. Once a turtle has chosen a nesting site, observe the nesting process up close, always under the supervision of the guides. Watch as the turtles dig a hole in the sand to lay their eggs, cover them carefully, and then return to the sea. During this process, the guides provide detailed information about the life cycle of sea turtles and conservation efforts to protect them. After the observation, return to your accommodation to rest and reflect on the unique experience you have just witnessed.
