Nature, a key element in Puerto Vallarta real estate

Wednesday, November 11

Puerto Vallarta real estate always offers many, diverse activities for residents of the city. One of the activities which foreign visitors and residents alike enjoy is caring for the natural beauty of the area – one of Puerto Vallarta real estate’s most important attractions.  During the following months there will be a focus on protecting newly born sea turtles.

This month the nesting season for the Olive Ridley Turtle – the most common sea turtle in the Puerto Vallarta area – begins; the season lasts until November.  The natural nesting cycle of the turtles includes abandoning the eggs for the 50 to 60 day incubation period, when the eggs hatch, and the newly-born turtles instinctively head for the sea.  While it is a natural part of the process that many are taken by predators, including seagulls, it is important to ensure that a large number arrive safely to the sea, since these turtles are a threatened species.

In Puerto Vallarta, there are various organizations devoted to the protection of these turtles, which provide opportunities for volunteers to take newly born sea turtles to the edge of the water and help increase their chances of survival.  The programs not only help prevent loss due to natural predators, but also make sure that swimming and other potentially disruptive sea activities are put on hold during the time that the turtles go to sea.  The volunteers are organized, with a line drawn at the edge of the ocean so they don’t accidentally step on the turtles others are releasing.

This month volunteers from Puerto Vallarta itself, as well as from numerous other countries, such as Korea, Germany, Spain, France, Belgium, the United States, Israel and Finland, have begun to arrive to beaches in Puerto Vallarta and the surrounding area to help in this important process.

Just as nature provides a key element in the attractiveness of Puerto Vallarta real estate, residents and visitors alike do their part in protecting this threatened species, thus ensuring that its existence continues to add to Puerto Vallarta’s beauty.
