The Playa Junquillal Turtle Festival or as we like to call it Festival de las Tortugas is held once a year. The community of Playa Junquillal comes together to learn more about saving the sea turtles and to have a good time enjoying traditional Costa Rica Food and Dancing.

Unfortunately, our pictures were minimal due to the fact that the flash from cameras scares the turtles.
The festival started with a parade, program including local dancing, dinner, a dance, and when the sky was dark, they released the turtles.
Logan had the good fortune of having his very own baby turtle to release and having his picture posted on a website highlighting the festival.
Enjoy!
