It is still possible to observe both the
leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) and the black turtle (Chelonia mydas)
nesting at Playa Grande and Playa Caletas, on the Pacific coast. November is also the last month to observe
the hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricate) on the Caribbean coast. The hawksbill is in danger of extinction
because its’ beautiful shell is harvested and used to make elaborate rings,
combs and earrings, among other trinkets.
