After the meeting with our guide or we will go to our center of operations located just 75 meters from Gandoca beach, where they will receive an informative talk and we will prepare to go to the beach, then we will wait at the beach until they tell us (the park ranger) the place and location where some turtle is coming from, or we will walk for short trips on the beach to locate them, for the entire trip our guide will give details and information of the turtles, these incredible reptiles visit the beaches of Gandoca in the months of February to July, the odds are good but not It is totally safe to see them, the beach is quite long and it is not always in the schedule that we are patrolling.
