Reserva La Flor

Located just walking distance from Playa Brasilito, the Refugio de Vida Silvestre La Flor in San Juan del Sur, Rivas, is a pristine 7,349-hectare nature reserve and one of Nicaragua’s premier sanctuaries for sea turtle conservation, including Olive Ridley (Paslama), Hawksbill (Carey), Leatherback (Tora), and Green turtles. This eco-tourism gem along the Pacific coast offers unforgettable outdoor activities such as guided nature walks, bird watching, starlit camping, and hands-on sea turtle hatchling releases. Visitors can witness the breathtaking "arribadas"—massive nighttime arrivals of nesting turtles—and the magical journey of baby turtles heading to the ocean weeks later. As a special perk, guests staying at Playa Brasilito enjoy a walking entrance to the refuge, making it the ultimate destination for sustainable travel, wildlife encounters, and eco-friendly adventures in Nicaragua.
