HELPING HATCHLINGS IN CANCÚN
Kempinski Hotel Cancún
Every year, hundreds of female sea turtles return to the beautiful white-sand beach in front of Kempinski Hotel Cancún. They build their nests and lay up to 200 eggs in the exact location in which they were born. As part of its commitment to nature, the hotel protects these endangered creatures from the moment they lay their eggs until the baby turtles hatch around 60 days later.
A team of forty volunteer employees safeguard the eggs and hatchlings every night between May and November, and KEMPINSKI DISCOVERY members can be a part of this too. As well as witnessing the spectacular sight of them emerging, you can accompany the hotel team in this important project by helping the baby turtles on their potentially perilous journey into the safety of the sea.
Witness the first steps of a new journey toward the sea.
