beautiful, well-supervised walk. The turtles were present. Too bad there were only 2/3 of them.

Our guide Guillermo was charming, super attentive to everyone, especially to me because of my disability. In the water, he helped me at all times. I have to thank Guillermo, as well as the driver and Sofía the photographer, a thousand thanks for making us have such a good day with them. Thanks to the three of you for everything. 😘😘😘😘
