Tortugueros Las Playitas

Tortugueros Las Playitas is a turtle conservation facility located in Todos Santos, dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of endangered sea turtle species, particularly the olive ridley and leatherback turtles. The centre is a culmination of efforts to restore the local turtle population, showcasing nesting sites and offering educational exhibits that explain their lifecycle and the threats they face. Visiting offers a chance to see hatchlings making their way to the ocean after hatching, usually from July to December. It’s worthwhile to check for specific hatching schedules or release events. Nearby, the charming town of Todos Santos offers art galleries and local dining that complement a trip to the centre.
