Description

Admire the effort of one of the longest living species on the planet to ensure its survival. Observe the nesting process of sea turtles on a night tour in Tortuguero, accompanied by a local guide who will explain the process. Meet your guide and head to the beach to watch the sea turtles as they lay their eggs. Learn about the actions that are taking place in the world of sea turtles during their nesting season from July 1 to October 31. You will be allowed to observe 4 of the 7 processes that the turtle performs while nesting on the beach. These 4 processes are: 1-The laying of eggs. 2- Compaction of the eggs. 3- Camouflage of the nest. 4- Return of the turtle to the sea. of course we can not promisse you will see all of the process, since it depends on the turtle and she feels. To OBSERVER a sea turtle nesting she must be relaxed and had arrived about 1 hour earlier, that is the time it takes to a turtle to start the laying of the eggs and that is the ideal time to reach near her and enjoy this unique event. Once the observation of 1 or up to the 4 processes get finished, we must leave the beach and return to hotel.
