The experience in the organization was something ive never had. Doing patrols until late at night, walking around the beaches with pouring rain but also days with planing for projects and cleaning. I didnt have too much time this time to really get into the work but enjoyed my time and met some great people!!!

Une expérience humaine profonde et des rencontres extraordinaire avec les tortues ! Karla et Ricardo (les 2 personnes en charge de la fondation actuellement) sont des personnes formidable et qui auront beaucoup à vous apprendre et partager si vous prenez le temps de les connaître. Les tâches sont diverses en fonction de la période de l'année et le temps pour se reposer est respecté. Si vous voulez voir des tortues, oui, ici vous allez en voir, mais dans le respect de son environnement et de sa sensibilité. Rendez-vous dans 40 ans, pour retrouver les tortues relâchées sur cette même plage !

Muchísimas gracias a toda la organización por este mes inolvidable. Viví una experiencia humana y ambiental muy fuerte, rodeado de personas apasionadas, comprometidas y siempre con buena onda. Cada día dedicado a la protección de las tortugas marinas fue una lección de vida, de humildad y de conexión con la naturaleza. Un lugar único, con valores auténticos y un ambiente familiar que te hace sentir como en casa. Gracias de corazón a Ricardo, Karla, Yochi y a todos los que hacen posible esta increíble aventura. ¡Hasta pronto, ojalá! 🐢💚
