"TURTLE NESTING SIGHTINGS" Tour

"TURTLE NESTING SIGHTINGS" Tour

In Cayo Largo, every year between 10 thousand and 30 thousand turtle eggs of the Careta Careta (Cagüama), green turtle (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill species are rescued and preserved until they hatch. These turtles arrive between the end of April and October -only at night- to lay their eggs on the beaches of Cayo Largo del Sur, considered the largest nesting site for sea turtles in Cuba and the fourth largest in the insular Caribbean. Holding a baby turtle to return it to its habitat awakens a special tenderness in any human being regardless of age or origin.

Very Important This excursion is subject to the natural weather conditions and the nesting and spawning seasons of the turtles, so it will not always be available.
