The Leatherback, the Hawksbill,
the Green and occasionally the Loggerhead sea turtles make their
nest and lay their eggs on Gandoca - Manzanillo beaches. However,
the giant Leatherback sea turtle, with a shell that can grow to
over one and a half meters in length and can weigh as much or more
than an adult bull cow, is the one who brings fame to these beaches.
The nesting season runs from March - June. |
| Recommendations: |
Dark clothing, long pants, insect repellent, drinking
water and sturdy shoes or sandals.
Special notes: Cameras
are not allowed, flash can disturb the turtles nesting. Turtles
are wild animals and nest during this broad four-month season, seeing
a turtle on any given night is not guaranteed. |
