Hi Friends!
While in Acapulco, I had the opportunity to get out and explore some of the coolest things the city has to offer. One of my favorite experiences from the trip was visiting an animal sanctuary on the beach and releasing baby turtles back into the ocean.
The sanctuary was such a beautiful spot right on the beach – brimming with rescued dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, ducks, bunnies and more. Their turtle program is what really makes this place special though. Turtles often come up onto the shore to lay their eggs – which are often eaten by other predators. This facility has staff that comb the beaches, looking for turtle eggs – and then takes them into a safe space to finish growing before they hatch. Once the turtles break through the egg shell, they need to be re-introduced to the ocean within 1-2 days to survive.
Usually their staff take care of this process – but they allow people to come into the sanctuary and teach them how to do it as well! You basically can’t just throw the turtle right into the ocean. You have to drop them off a bit of a ways back and let them find their way. It was pretty amazing because they never once turned back once they heard the sound of the ocean – they just kept crawling forward until the tide swept them away.
I hope you guys enjoy this video and getting a little glimpse into this gorgeous sanctuary, all of the friendly animals, and the process of releasing these baby turtles to the sea!
I took tons more videos of my Acapulco adventures that I can’t wait to sort through, edit and share with you over the next week or two!
