Av universo Edif. 2022-B Depto. 14,

Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico

Description: Sleep on the beach, and work from 10 pm-6 am in two hour shifts to search for turtle eggs, and protect them from fishermen who poach the eggs.
Field Notes: You will learn a lot about Mexican culture here. The surrounding towns offer an authentic break from the commercialized zone of Puerto Vallarta. This is a great site for someone with intermediate Spanish skills, because most people speak Spanish, Spanglish, and/or English.
