you need a small private plane to get here, but once here you can visit the breeding tanks for a variety of endangered turtles. lovely beech and very few people around
Anche questa tappa del nostro viaggio in Venezuela sarà indimenticabile.....Le persone che lavorano qui sono nate per fare quello che fanno...con amore e passione...Animali trattati benissimo, ordine e pulizia....Dovremmo imparare....
This is a place where your faith in humankind is reloaded. These people search for turtle nests in danger and they move the eggs here and take care of them until they hatch.You can see their growth for one year along the pools. You can see turtles that are a few hours old until they are about 10-12 months old when they are released to the sea.You can adopt a turtle and you get to name it. You can come back later and release it.If you are in Los Roques, don't miss it
The marine biology station is located on a beautiful cayo in the national park. After paying a fee (which is extremely cheap) the guide gives information about the four species of turtles that can be seen on the park, the protection of the nests and eggs and then a tour around the tanks with the little ones that they keep until they are released after a year. You cannot touch the animals but if you insist a little, you can hold one to take a great picture!. It is a very nice visit for kids and adults!
Lamentablemente es cierto que desmantelaron el lugar, las tortugas fueron liberadas, y ya los estudiantes no pueden ir a hacer sus pasantias alli. El museo que explicaba la relacion de los indigenas de la zona de Ocumare y Valencia con la isla Dos Mesquises fue destruido. Es realmente triste! Por que razon? Nadie lo sabe. Sospechosamente estan construyendo unas casas alli. Para quien seran? Estuve en Carnaval 2015!!!
Vale la pena ir, puedes ver muchos tipos de tortugas y te cuentan la historia del sitio, cobran una colaboración de 50 bs por persona, pero es una actividad muy especial en una visita a los roques.
A Fundação Científica Los Roques é uma espécie de TAMAR da Venezuela.Conhecemos melhor as tartarugas, desde o seu nascimento até o crescimento e preservação das mesmas. Um belo projeto! Só acho q o lugar poderia ser mais bem cuidado, pois é um programa super importante!!!
This place is magic, you can learn a lot about the turtles and their environment!! You have to pay a tickets just 10 bsf (1,50 usd)
Natale 2014 a Los Roques.Da dire c'è poco...bisogna andarci e basta!Che aeroporto strano e piccolino! mi domandavo, guardandolo, come può decollare ed atterrare un aereo qui? Ma incredibilmente i piloti ce la fanno!!!Il mare è una piscina infinita: per 200 metri l'acqua è molto bassa e trasparente, calda, con un panorama incredibile.CONSIGLI: portate il costume, le ciabatte, la protezione solare e basta!!! Los Roques va vissuta così, come loro: scalzi girando per le strade, mangiando in spiaggia, sentendo il rumore del mare mentre stai per addormentarti e facendoti la doccia con l'acqua fredda! Ma a Los Roques si accetta tutto!!!Buone vacanze!!!
in this place, the natives explain about the three species of turtles sites, two of which they have copies, the other is only in very deep water, then it is a 1 hour mandatory stop on this island . Always is associate with another larger island that has more attraction, since this island is passing, you can not get to spend the day, becouse it is a reserve. Compensates for the visit, and later adopt a small turtle,they give you a t-shirt and they write down your email address and then send you a super cute certificate and you choose the name of the turtle that you want to adopt, she will be released after 1 year and you can go back after this year in question for loose it.
