PICTURES CAMPSITE
The campsite has NO electricity or running water. But it’s gorgeous anyway, isn’t it?
PICTURES RANCHO
The Rancho has electricity and the kitchen is fully equipped with a gas stove and a fridge.
Remember:
1) Sea turtle nesting peaks between August and November, with most nests hatching between October and December.
During the rest of the year we will have plenty of other chores and activities for you!
2) There are 3 camping spaces available at a time (2.50 x 2.50m each). That means we have space for 3 solo travellers or 3 couples!
How to pay:
In order to confirm your booking, we ask for a down payment of 400 USD via Western Union or international wire transfer.
The rest of the fee is to be paid on the day of your arrival.
We’ll send you all the banking details.
Without the upfront payment, we may not be able to guarantee a space for you.
