The season of mass arrivals of the olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) takes place during this month of March. Although the nesting season extends over several months, the nights of March are perfect for witnessing this natural spectacle. If we refer to the lunar calendar, it is precisely the nights of the waning quarter that concentrate the most turtles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simultaneous nesting of thousands of olive ridley turtles takes place in the Ostional (Pacific) National Wildlife Refuge, located in “Playa de Ostional” (Santa Cruz canton). This refuge prevents the uncontrolled entry of tourists and keeps the beaches of this turtle sanctuary in good condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
