El Tortugario
El Tortugario is a beachside turtle sanctuary located 4km east of Cuyutlán. Since it opened in 1993, conservationists have released more than 500,000 green, black and leatherback turtle hatchlings into the wild here. The center also has small iguana and crocodile sanctuaries, an education center, swimming pools and a picnic area. Don’t miss the Tortugario’s lagoon trips on the Palo Verde Estuary, a nature preserve that’s home to 1007 species of birds, including 257 migratory birds. Lanchas move through mangrove tunnels and past sunbathing crocodiles. The 45-minute ride costs M$40.
