Oaxaca Part II: Puerto Escondido, Laguna Manialtepec, Puerto Angel

The 1st night after arriving in Puerto Escondido, we released baby sea turtles on the beach at sunset. The funding for this turtle "campamiento" is from the singer Mana and from the cellular company, Moviestar. We released Laud (leatherbacks) and Golfino turtles.











On Thursday morning we went on a boat ride in the near-by Manialtepec Lagoon and saw a bunch of birds and iguanas. Some of the birds are nesting so we were even able to see chicks in the nests.

In the afternoon we headed to Puerto Angel for a last afternoon on the beach before heading back to Oaxaca City and finally up to Puebla.
