Here you can support conservation projects with your work by protecting the turtles and their eggs from danger, relocating the nests or accompanying the turtle babies on their dangerous journey to the sea. The daily task is also to clean the beach section so that the turtles can enter the water and land safely. The climate is generally hot and humid, with the Pacific dry season running from November to May.
