Seeing turtles in Cahuita

Hi everyone, we’re planning a road trip this summer (in August). I have a question: is it possible and common to see turtles (nesting or otherwise) around Cahuita? We’ve planned a stop in Tortuguero (but if there’s a chance to see them in Cahuita, it’d save us a detour—which is probably worth it anyway).

Thanks

Hello again

Didn’t see any turtles in Cahuita or Tortuguero. Best, Catherine

It's in July or August that you can spot them (I think at least for the nesting)

Yes, we went there in April

Hi, you need to contact Béatrice, a Frenchwoman who manages Kenaki Lodge in Cahuita on Playa Grande. She organizes baby turtle releases several times a year, so she knows when the turtles come to lay their eggs. Search for "Kenaki Lodge Cahuita" on Google.

I’ll check that out, thanks for the reply
