   2 h

2. We will arrive at Escobilla beach, which is cataloged by CONANP as a turtle sanctuary; In this wonderful place we will have the opportunity to carry out the turtle release activity, taking into account all the protocols and measures necessary to avoid harming the species; Before releasing them, we will give them a name and wish them good luck on their journey across the ocean, hoping that one day they will return.

3. As a second stop we will arrive at Zicatela Beach in Puerto Escondido, which is one of the beaches known worldwide for its huge waves and for hosting international surfing tournaments. On this beach we can enjoy the beautiful sunset and tour the area; our team will help you take a nice picture to remember the experience.

   2 h

4. As a last stop, we will visit the Manialtepec lagoon, where we will witness the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence. This show is produced thanks to a biochemical process by which certain microorganisms emit light when in contact with the movement of water. The lagoon houses a large concentration of these organisms, which allows the water to magically light up by shaking it. We recommend wearing a swimsuit to enjoy this experience in a unique way. The tour will take place on board a small boat, and those who wish to swim can activate bioluminescence and marvel at this natural phenomenon. At the end of the day, the group will be able to decide if they want to stop for dinner or snack before starting their return to Huatulco.
