Velas Turtle Festival
Come witness a miracle of the nature. Female Olive Ridley Turtles return to the very same beach from where they first hatched, to lay their eggs, traveling hundreds of kilometers.
Witnessing a baby turtle coming out of the egg and then finding its way to the sea by those baby steps is an unforgettable moment.
