Experience one of the greatest conservation stories in the Sea of Cortez. A story where millions of sea turtles begin their extraordinary journey! From April to December, female turtles return to their birthplace to lay their eggs, and dedicated conservationists work tirelessly to protect them. They collect the nests and relocate them to safe, controlled environments, ensuring the hatchlings have the best chance of survival. Once hatched, these tiny turtles are released back into the ocean—a moment you'll never forget, especially knowing that only 1 in 1,000 will survive. Before arriving at the sea turtle conservation area, we will make a quick stop to enjoy a delicious ranch-style breakfast.

After the release, we venture into the Sierra de la Laguna mountains, an ecologically significant and breathtaking mountain range with sparkling waterfalls and waterholes. Nestled in these mountains is an adventurer's paradise, one of the oldest ranches in the Baja maintaining a sustainable, traditional lifestyle. Enjoy the day hiking, indulge yourself in a Mexican traditional cooking class (your lunch), try your hand at leather making and even milk a goat or cow to make the famous ranch cheese. End your visit with a 5-minute hike to one of the river's waterholes for a dip in the natural pool. 

It's a full day of Mexican culture, food and wildlife conservation at its best!
