Baby Turtles in Costa Rica 🐢 travel bucket list

One of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do was help baby turtles in Costa Rica!! 🐢

My friends & I were on a conservation trip at the Pacuare Reserve where we monitored & helped protect baby sea turtles… starting from finding the nests, monitoring the nests, helping the baby turtles hatch & releasing them into the sea while making sure they made it safely! 🌊

It isn’t a luxury trip, but it is such a cool thing to do & I think people should experience it!
