See What a Conservation Camp Looks Like and Does
Editor’s Note: Campamento Tortugero Ayotlcalli, A.C. is a not-for-profit sea turtle conservation camp located in the small fishing village of Barra de Potosi, Guerrero. In 2020, the organization received the Amig@s de la Paz Sustainable Tourism Award for its conservation efforts.

We are proud to share our new Virtual Camp Tour video with you. For those who have visited the camp in the past, we hope you will re-live many happy memories while watching our video. And for those who have not yet had the opportunity to visit, we hope this video will give you a good idea of what our camp looks like and some of the things we do in our sea turtle conservation and education work. In either case, if you are spending the winter in a cold weather area, I hope these scenes of sand, sun, and sea bring you a little warmth.
Reservations Required & Health Precautions
If you are in the area or plan to visit this season, the camp is open for daily releases as in the past but with some operational changes due to the Covid-19 situation. We currently require reservations in advance for all visitors and we need to limit our group sizes. We are also following standard safety protocols (masks, social distancing, etc.) which are outlined on the main page of our website. We are open and welcome you to visit. Just make sure to call (755-121-1021) or send a message on our Facebook page to reserve your spot.
Now, without further ado, here is the video!
