And then, there’s the moment you’ll never forget—the tiny crack of a shell, the first flicker of movement, and the miracle of a hatchling emerging into the world. In your palms, it’s lighter than you imagined, its tiny flippers pulsing with life. You gently place it on the sand, watching it scramble toward the surf, the ocean pulling it home.
In the daylight, adventure takes on a new rhythm. The salty breeze rushes past your face as you ride in a 4x4 along miles of mango trees and green pastures. Your feet sink into warm golden sand as you wander beaches that seem to stretch forever.

The Rich Culture and Beauty of Playa Las Tortugas & Surrounding Areas
Playa Las Tortugas and the surrounding areas of Nayarit, Mexico are steeped in rich indigenous mythology, primarily rooted in the traditions of the Cora (Náayeri) and Huichol (Wixárika) peoples—two of the region’s most spiritually connected and storytelling-rich cultures. While Playa Las Tortugas itself may not have a singular myth tied directly to it, the broader region holds powerful myths that inform its sacred energy, particularly around nature, animals, and the ocean.
The Sacred Turtle
While not tied to a specific Huichol or Cora legend from Playa Las Tortugas itself, the turtle holds symbolic meaning in Mesoamerican cosmology across several Indigenous traditions. The turtle often represents:
The Earth itself, with its shell symbolizing the dome of the sky and its body the foundation of the world.
Longevity, endurance, and protection, aligning perfectly with Playa Las Tortugas’ tranquil, timeless essence.
In some interpretations, sea turtles are messengers or guardians, bridging the physical world with the spiritual.
Given that turtles return to the same beach year after year to nest, many locals and spiritual practitioners view this as a sacred act—symbolizing return, rebirth, and cyclical renewal.
At Playa Las Tortugas, the sea turtles—primarily olive ridley turtles, but occasionally leatherbacks and hawksbills—follow a beautiful and consistent nesting cycle:
Turtle Nesting Season in Nayarit:
Nesting: June through November
Hatching: August through January
During this time, turtles return to the same beach where they were born, digging nests in the sand under the moonlight to lay their eggs. About 45–60 days later, baby turtles hatch and begin their courageous journey to the sea—often during sunset or sunrise. In August through November, there’s a high chance you could witness either the nesting or hatching process—an incredibly moving and symbolic experience.
A Soulful Adventure at Platanitos Turtle Camp
On the pristine shores of Playa Las Tortugas, where golden sands stretch for miles and the Pacific whispers against the tide, you’ll find Platanitos Turtle Camp—a sanctuary devoted to protecting the endangered Olive Ridley sea turtle. This is more than a visit to the beach; it is a rare opportunity to step into the rhythm of nature, to be part of the solution, and to leave with memories that will stay with you forever.
Here, your journey becomes one with the turtles’. As the sun sets and the stars brighten overhead, you’ll walk alongside local conservationists, gathering fragile eggs and securing them in the hatchery where they can develop safely. At dusk, you’ll kneel on the sand, observing tiny hatchlings as they take their first steps toward the ocean—a breathtaking moment that reminds you how powerful it is to protect, to nurture, and to give back.
Since 1989, Platanitos Turtle Camp has safeguarded thousands of nests each year through community-led conservation, education, and the hands-on involvement of travelers who, like you, want their adventure to mean more. Each release, each small act of care, is part of a greater legacy—ensuring that sea turtles continue to return to these shores for generations to come.
This retreat is your chance to move beyond sightseeing into soul-seeing—to immerse yourself in nature, connect deeply with its beauty, and play a vital role in sustaining it. For travelers who long for meaning, for adventure that awakens the heart and inspires change, Platanitos Turtle Camp offers more than an escape. It offers transformation.
This is where clarity meets global action.
The Huichol Visionary Traditions
The Wixárika (Huichol) people are known for their vibrant, visionary cosmology that deeply honors nature, animals, and sacred geography. To them, all elements of nature—including the sea, sun, and animals—are living deities or spirits. Nearby areas like San Blas, Punta Mita, and the Sierra Madre Mountains are part of sacred migratory routes and ceremonial spaces.
Important mythological figures include:
Tatei Haramara – the Grandmother Ocean Goddess, revered as the origin of life and a powerful spiritual force. Pilgrimages are still made by Huichol people to the ocean (particularly near San Blas) to honor her.
Kauyumari – the Blue Deer, a central figure in Huichol cosmology who offers guidance, healing, and access to the spiritual world through peyote visions. While more common in desert regions, the deer’s messages of inner journey and resilience resonate with the tranquil energy of Playa Las Tortugas.
The Estuary and Mangroves as Portals
In Indigenous thought, estuaries, mangroves, and wetlands—like those found behind Playa Las Tortugas—are considered liminal spaces or thresholds between worlds. They are seen as places where transformation occurs and where spiritual messages can be received. These ecosystems are often treated with reverence and approached with ritual intention.
Playa Las Tortugas is rich in culture and history, its name, landscape, and surrounding sacred geography resonate deeply with themes of rebirth, feminine energy, earth wisdom, and spiritual transformation—echoing the worldview of the original caretakers of this land. For retreats and conscious travel, tapping into these myths adds a layer of reverence and connection to a place that’s already overflowing with soul.

Meet Your Retreat Facilitator: Maureen C. Rubalcaba, Ph.D.
I know what it’s like to feel the pull of something bigger than yourself—the urge to step outside the noise of daily life and connect with the natural world in a meaningful way. For years, I’ve balanced a career in education and leadership with a deep love for community, culture, and the environment. What grounds me most are experiences that bring me back to the elements: the ocean, the earth, and the shared responsibility we all carry to protect them.
My journey has been shaped by resilience, loss, and a commitment to creating spaces where people can connect, learn, and grow. Along the way, I discovered that some of the most transformative moments don’t happen in boardrooms or classrooms—they happen barefoot on a beach at sunrise, in quiet reflection under a star-filled sky, or while working side-by-side with others toward a common purpose.
That’s why I’m bringing this retreat to Playa Las Tortugas—a place where adventure and conservation meet. Together, we’ll join biologists and volunteers to safeguard sea turtles, experience the magic of hatchlings racing to the sea, and explore the cultural richness of Nayarit. This isn’t about titles or achievements. It’s about presence, purpose, and being part of something truly extraordinary.
So, I invite you to join me. Come as you are—curious, passionate, adventurous. Let’s step into the rhythm of the ocean, contribute to the protection of these sacred creatures, and walk away with stories and connections that will last a lifetime.
“Playa Las Tortugas—a place where adventure and conservation meet.”
