The local guides will explain to you what you need to know about their veterinary work in the turtle nursery. You will be able to see how they incubate the eggs to protect the species so that they can later be released into their natural habitat.
From May to September, the caretakers organize night visits to the mating areas, in one of the most beautiful spots on the island.
