A MAGICAL NATURAL SPECTACLE IN PUERTO VALLARTA
August 1, 2024
Like every year, the sea turtle nesting season has begun on the Mexican Pacific coast. A large number of endangered species such as olive ridley, hawksbill, and leatherback turtles come to the shores of Nayarit to nest, and Puerto Vallarta has conservation programs for these vulnerable reptiles.
Some hotels in the bay, such as the Marriott and the Hyatt, have their own turtle camps where the nests are protected until the eggs hatch. Once that happens, they offer their guests the experience of accompanying the newborn hatchlings to the seashore as they begin their lives in the vast ocean.
Turtle releases are free, open to the general public, and take place in the hours before sunset during the summer and fall. Helping these tiny vulnerable creatures reach the ocean safely is a wonderful experience that you’ll never forget!
