Best part of my trip!!! This experience was awesome! A few times during our excursion I had to remind myself I was on a tour because it definitely felt like a fun evening out with friends. JOE, CANADA.
Let us take you through this natural protected area where the community of El Recreo has joined efforts with CONANP (National Commission of Natural Protected Areas) in protecting the olive ridley sea turtle. Meet the faces behind this program and connect with the people as they share with you some of the preservation techniques they use.
Glide in a kayak between lush vegetation tunnels and immerse yourself in the mangrove wetlands wildlife. Roll your sleeves up and help the new hatchlings make it to their new home.
As if it wasn’t enough, the meal that you will share with your tribe comes directly from the community orchard, from farm to table!
