Turtle breeding farm

As part of the conservation and protection programs of the natural resources of the Cayo Largo del Sur Tourism resort is the marine turtle project. Three types of these creatures reproduce in the months of April and September: the Loggerhead turtle, the Green Turtle and the Hawksbill Turtle. There is a turtle breeding farm located in the tourist resort and among the conservation projects is the collection of nests from the most vulnerable beaches and their transfer to the farm where the eggs are incubated. Once the baby turtles are born they are freed in their natural environment.

Cayo Largo del Sur is aiming to become a national reference center in terms of its protection and conservation of marine turtles
