Just 40 minutes from Raíz Hotel Boutique , you will find the Escobilla Beach Sanctuary , a protected natural area and considered the main sanctuary in all of Mexico for the olive ridley turtle . This spectacular natural event, known as the turtle arrival , occurs between July and December, when hundreds of thousands of turtles return to the beach where they were born to nest and spawn.
Sea turtles begin reproducing at around 13 years of age and return to the beach to lay their eggs every two years. Each turtle can lay approximately 100 eggs in a nest, which have an incubation period of 45 days. Unfortunately, many hatchlings do not survive due to natural hazards and predators.
The best time to witness the arrival of turtles is during sunrise, when thousands of turtles emerge from the sea to dig their nests in the sand. This natural event is one of the most impressive ecotourism experiences on the Oaxacan Coast and an important reason to visit the Oaxacan Coast .
The Escobilla Beach Sanctuary has several protection projects to ensure the survival of sea turtles. Visitors are asked to make a small contribution to contribute to conservation in Oaxaca , helping to protect the eggs and monitor the ecosystem. In addition to the arrival, you can also witness the birth of turtles and their first journey to the sea.
To enjoy this event without affecting the environment, it is essential to follow the guides' recommendations and respect the sanctuary's rules. This experience represents a great opportunity for tourism in Puerto Escondido , promoting environmental education and respect for marine life.
Witnessing the arrival of turtles at Escobilla Beach is a reminder of the balance of nature and the importance of conservation. With every effort to protect them, we ensure that future generations will continue to admire this natural miracle on the Oaxacan Coast .
