Xel-Ha has one of the few Turtle Camps on the Yucatan Peninsula, where marine turtles feel safe enough to come ashore every year and lay their eggs.
The Loggerhead and Green turtle season runs from April through November when females come ashore, dig holes and lay their eggs. The Xel-Ha staff recover the eggs and carefully rebury them at the Turtle Camp, where they are guarded until they hatch. Hatchlings are released at night, increasing their chance of survival. Visitors may participate in hatchling releases on specified evenings.
A portion of your entry fee is donated to help maintain the Turtle Camp. Come to Xel-Ha and help in the conservation of Loggerhead and Green turtles.
