56. Turtle Nesting and Releases in Full Swing in Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, celebrates its sea turtle nesting season from June to December. The most common species is the Olive Ridley, along with Leatherback, Black, and Hawksbill turtles. Authorities promote conservation through guidelines such as maintaining a 10-meter distance, avoiding flashes, and reporting dangers via 911 or 322-688-2368.

To protect the eggs, they are relocated to secure camps for incubation until hatching. Visitors can participate in hatchling releases at Holi Beach, from Monday to Wednesday at 6:30 pm, providing a unique experience that raises awareness about the importance of protecting these endangered species.
