Work

Based on the time of the year the volunteers will be working during the day or at night in the months of August and September from 20:00 to 08:00. Depending on the number of turtles that come ashore, two teams might be formed among the volunteers. In this way, each group will be taking turns, working one night, and taking the next night off for recovery. In addition, the weekends are also spared for resting. Some of the activities to be performed are:
1. Finding adult turtles and collecting their eggs.
2. Moving the eggs to a protected place called Vivero.
3. Releasing newborn baby turtles into the sea.
4. Patrolling the beaches at night.
5. Making some reconstruction in the most important turtle camps of the region.

Please consider that the schedule is subject to change depending on the weather conditions and the condition of the sea turtles and it is possible to work with crocodiles in case there is no work with turtles, this can happen mostly in the months of January and February. The coordinator or the camp leader will be informing you regarding your work schedule.

Accomodation and food

Volunteers will be staying in a shared room with another volunteer. Food will be provided

Location and leisure

Rincon de Guayabitos, also known as Guayabitos, is a beach town located in the astonishing Sierra Madre Occidental, in the state of Nayarit and bathed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean. It is a popular tourist destination due to its proximity to the cities of Tepic, Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta.

Riviera Nayarit is emerging as one of the most attractive and magic destinations of Mexico. The area extends approximately 300 kilometers along the coast, integrated by mountainous jungle and facing coastal islands. For those seeking a more rural and rustic experience with magic beach towns in Mexico, the Riviera has a massive open space for everyone along the Nayarit coast, also, for those who want to relax there are also quiet beaches and there are other beaches with heavy waves for surfers.

Project hosted by

Vive Mexico has been organizing this workcamp regularly in Rincon de Guayabitos, Nayarit since 2014. The main achievement of the project is to protect the sea turtles with the help of volunteers who will be cooperating with a team of biologists. Up to now, the project has been quite successful and has reached extraordinary results. Participating in sea turtle conservation is a great opportunity to discover the rather charming life of sea turtles.

Work

Over the past fourteen years, the World Heritage Volunteers (WHV) initiative has grown enormously due to the growing interest and appreciation for the protection and preservation of World Heritage sites. For the third time, an international volunteer camp will be held at the Ex-Convent of San Miguel Arcángel, located in the municipality of Huejotzingo. The former convent is a Franciscan construction, considered the first “convent-fortress temple” built in New Spain, and was declared
a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994. Huejotzingo will receive national
and international volunteers to carry out awareness-raising activities about the importance
of preserving local cultural heritage, supporting the preservation of the 16th century
ex-convent on the slopes of Popocatépetl. This project envisages collaborative
work with the heritage management bodies of the state of Puebla as well as with
the community and academic institutions.

Accomodation and food

Lodging will be in a house provided by a family in the community and has all the necessary facilities for lodging and cleanliness..
The accommodation is located 4 blocks from the center of Calpan.
The food will be prepared by the volunteers in a collective dynamic. On some occasions they may be invited to eat at the house of one of the inhabitants.
