Ku Estacíon Las Tortugas, odzipereka amathandizira kuteteza akamba am'nyanja omwe amakhala m'derali, makamaka mitundu yayikulu kwambiri yomwe ilipo, leatherback, yomwe ili pachiwopsezo chachikulu komanso pachiwopsezo chachikulu chotha. Kuwonjezera pa kulondera usiku n’cholinga chothamangitsa opha nyama popanda chilolezo ndi nyama zina zimene zimadya mazira a akambawo, zisa zimasamutsidwira kumalo osungirako hacheri kumene zingayang’anitsidwe ndi kutetezedwa.

Chimene chinandichititsa chidwi choyamba ponena za komwe tikupita sichinali kudzipatula, kapena malo okhala kunja kwa gridi, koma mkokomo wogonja womwe unali kutali. M'kati mwa mdima wakuda, wounikira ndi mphezi m'chizimezime, mawonekedwe a chisanu a Nyanja ya Atlantic ankawoneka akusweka mwamphamvu pamphepete mwa nyanja yamchenga wakuda. Phokosolo - labwino kwambiri komanso loledzeretsa - lidandikoka ngati chizoloŵezi choyambirira.
