IT's TURTLE SEASON IN EL PAREDON!
Every year, El Paredon becomes the breeding ground for hundreds
of sea turtles who lay their eggs from July through November along
our beautiful beaches. This is the perfect time for you to spot
these beautiful creatures, for example during a night stroll along
the beach (but please give them their space).
In order to help as many turtles as possible to survive, we
support the CONAP's sanctuary in El Paredon by donating to all
poached turtle eggs to be placed in the sanctuary. With your help
we can ensure the most eggs are buried and kept safe until they
hatch. Last year with this new donation program the sanctuary was
overrun with more eggs than they could handle. This year The
Driftwood Surfer is paying to expand the sanctuary so that we can
accommodate another 5000 eggs. Last year we were able to receive
around 17000 eggs thanks to travelers donations.
Together, we want to do the same this year - we want to raise
1000$ to support the sanctuary expansion and 3000$ for buying and
saving the turtle eggs. Come and support a good cause and help us
save the turtles! We thank you for all your donations and hope to
see you down here for some turtle spotting. We will also be
helping release the baby turtles daily at 6 am starting in September.
See you soon,
The Driftwood Surfer Team
