Great welcoming place of natural beauty and cool local beach vibe. Definetly recommend 100%! I willingly stayed more than expected & got to learn a whole lot!!! S.A.V.E. is a magical place and organization that helps sea turtles' nesting & hatching! My only recommendation for new people hoping to experience this amazing aventure is to be prepared to stay awake from 1am to 6am since the mother sea turtles nest during the night!! You will recieve a comfortable bed to sleep in with AC and you will be fed twice a day!. Also great for meeting new international travelers and making local friends!

Volunteering with the turtles is a wonderful experience and rewarding to be able to volunteer on a project that helps to protect these majestic creatures. It's fun, rewarding and a great new experience as well as an opportunity to be in a beautiful place at the same time. I would advise being fit to be able to do the job properly as you need to da lot of walking on soft sand. You also need to work at night as this is when the turtles come ashore to nest so be prepared to sleep during the day and work at night. You'll have the opportunity of meeting new people and practising/learning Spanish.

Es una experiencia mágica el trabajar con las tortugas, verlas todas las noches, aprender de ellas, sus comportamientos y necesidades para la prosperidad de la especie. Ojalá puedan presenciar nacimientos, que es de las cosas las maravillosas!!! Por el lado de la organización realmente falta trabajo ahí, ya que no te guían mucho ni te reciben. En mi caso nos organizamos con los demás voluntarios. Turnos nocturnos. Limpieza de espacios comunes. Se comprarte una habitación con los 6 voluntarios, cocina y baño. Se otorgan dos comidas, muy buenas!
