I visited Tortugas Del Pacifico during my stay in Bahia Solano. I stayed at another hotel but came to Valle for one day. Dario picked us up with motorbikes so except watching little tortugas release, we also had quite a lot of fun during our 5k beach ride. I loved the experience and found everyone at Playa Cuevita friendly. I also got touched by Dario's mission and lifestyle. Thank you for an amazing experience!
