Refugio de Vida Silvestre La Flor

Pacific Coast

An easy day trip from San Juan del Sur, Refugio de Vida Silvestre La Flor is where visitors should go to see hatching turtles. From July through December, approximately 30,000 turtles nest and lay eggs. About 45 days later, the eggs hatch and baby turtles run into the sea in the middle of the night, guided by moonlight.
