In Ixtapilla, you will find much more than sun and sand; this place is a natural sanctuary for olive ridley turtles.
Recognized for its commitment to the protection of these marine species, Ixtapilla is a must-see destination for those who wish to live a unique experience.
The season of massive arrivals, which usually extends from August to December, is ideal to witness one of the most amazing spectacles of nature.

We recommend you visit the fanpage “Punta Ixtal – Campamento Tortuguero” for updated information on dates and activities. Here, you can not only observe the arrival of thousands of turtles, but also participate in the release of hatchlings, guided by experts who will give you an informative talk and accompany you in this exciting experience. Every year, about 30,000 turtles arrive at Ixtapilla, and thanks to conservation efforts, a large number of hatchlings are born.

The camp has an ecotourism inn where you can stay and enjoy the local gastronomy, surrounded by the natural beauty of this coastal paradise.
