Tortugueros Las Playitas Todos Santos


On my continuing roadtrip in Baja I'm now camping & volunteering at this turtle sanctuary in Todos Santos at Las Playitas. If you are in the Todos Santos area stop by and see it. Baby turtle hatchings are released daily into the Pacific at 5:30pm.

Maybe 25 years ago, we were walking along the beach at Todos Santos, and saw this line of footprints down the beach. Every so often, there was a hole dug in the sand, then the footprints would continue down the beach (with more holes). We were later talking to a local who explained that was someone digging up turtle eggs, most likely to eat.

Nice to see we're now headed in the right direction.

Hi Mary

We would love to hear more about your experience at the turtle sanctuary.

Volunteering is almost always very rewarding and leaves something behind besides money.
