    You will be allowed to observe 4 of the 7 processes that the turtle performs while nesting on the beach. These 4 processes are: 1-The laying of eggs. 2- Compaction of the eggs. 3- Camouflage of the nest. 4- Return of the turtle to the sea. of course we can not promisse you will see all of the process, since it depends on the turtle and she feels. To OBSERVER a sea turtle nesting she must be relaxed and had arrived about 1 hour earlier, that is the time it takes to a turtle to start the laying of the eggs and that is the ideal time to reach near her and enjoy this unique event. Once the observation of 1 or up to the 4 processes get finished, we must leave the beach and return to hotel.
