From May to October each year, many hotels’ customers have the opportunity to help protect endangered turtles when they lay their eggs and travel out to sea
If there’s anything that can make a holiday in the Riviera Maya even better, it’s the magical experience of helping protect the area’s natural environment. Many hotels like BlueBay Grand Esmeralda***** and Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique Hotel***** have programmes to protect sea turtles, and their guests are always more than welcome to lend a hand if they want to get involved.
These programmes are mainly carried out between May and October when the female turtles come to the beaches at night to lay their eggs. This is when the hotels get involved and help to protect the eggs from predators or danger.
After the baby turtles are born, the hotel complexes organise events at nightfall with their customers to help and protect them until they reach the sea. It’s an unforgettable experience and the perfect chance to get together and preserve nature.
3 tips for the egg-laying
– Don’t use the flash on your camera
