Nature and community tourism

Mangroves, turtles and boat trips with the people who care for the coast.

Information checked:

Three different experiences

The turtle center is an education and conservation visit. La Ventanilla offers guided lagoon trips. La Escobilla is a sanctuary where access must follow conservation conditions.

Questions for an operator

Ask who guides, what authorization the activity requires, what equipment is included and how weather cancellations work. Check for stairs, boarding from sand and mobility requirements.

A thoughtful wildlife encounter

Do not demand close approaches for photos or guaranteed sightings. Prefer observation from a distance and projects that explain their conservation work. Avoid feeding or handling animals.
