Question 1

TURTLE HATCHING

Accepted Answer

Witness the amazing journey of the El Cuyo turtles. The best time to visit is in late August, September and early October, although the nesting & hatching season can sometimes stretch as far as November. Dusk is usually the best time for turtle hatching but it can also happen during the day.
 
As many of our turtles are endangered or at risk, please do not touch or disturb the turtles.  
Please no flash photography as the bright lights can harm the turtles.  Even turtles appreciate a little social distancing.
