<h3>About Isla Pajarito</h3>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Isla Pajarito:</strong></span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A strange and miraculous image, made ​​of lead, is found on the main altar of the church of Santa Maria in Usulutan. The residents had a fisherman of the bayworking in the waters near Bird Island, when, suddenly, the sea was curled, the degree to wreck his boat. Such was the anxiety and fear that the fisherman invoked his salvation from San Antonio. When he awoke, he was in the Bird Island beaches and in his hand the saving image. From there, the man promised to be the protector of the small effigy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then, when man and statue were called to the bedside of a sick, he healed them. This happened many times until the image was required by the church, but the man refused to surrender it, therefore, the police arrested him for the purpose of confiscating the image.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The fisherman handed over the image and was released. But, when he was among his people, he found, surprisingly, in their spritsail, the saint wrapped in a handkerchief. Since the news of this miracle ran, the faith of the population increased, so it was decided to celebrate the feast of San Antonio Pajarito each February 20.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">An afternoon on the island is a sight to reconnect with nature. This small space is one of the favorite places for the birds that inhabit the bay.

<h2><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Visit Our Monkey Sanctuary</strong></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hacienda La Carrera in the 60s-70s included a protected, environmentally conscious zoo. After the land reform that took place in late 1979 many innocent animals were killed or sold. However, there was a community of cunning spider monkeys that managed to survive over the years. Today, much of the property at Hacienda La Carrera has been repurchased for agricultural use. Nevertheless, the purchasing company has gone to great efforts to purchase “green areas” with a strong commitment to preserve and protect the flora and fauna. As a result, native wildlife in the area has made an impressive comeback. The monkey population is also thriving, having reached close to 30. Spider monkeys are quite curious and fond of tourists. They will happily accept bananas from visitors and make for a wonderful experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is impossible to resist this tour. Visit Don Miguel and his spider monkey sanctuary community. Bring along bananas to feed Pancho and Maria and see how this king of the bananas rejoices in his forest (El Nacascolo). This one is the last communities of spider monkeys that thanks to Don Miguel we have been able to protect. Highlight- Walk through the sugar cane fields and enclosed semi-tropical forests. Watch as “Miguel” calls them to your feet making it an awesome, close-encounter natural experience .</p>

Transportation in the estuary will be around 30 minutes to La Pirraya Island where you’ll receive a brief introduction about the project and sea turtles in general for 20 minutes. After that we´ll visit the hatchery and then we´ll walk <strong>around four kilometers </strong>to the beach for <strong>approximately 2 hours</strong>. The <strong>whole tour will take approximately 3,5 hours</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>IMPORTANCE: </strong>Patrolling at night enables us to obtain a lot of information from the nesting turtles. Turtle tours involve local people in sustainable activities that let them to get incomes helping to the conservation. This is why your presence on the beach is so important. Thank you very much once more time for being here and helping us on this project.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>DECISION MAKING</strong>: One of the local guides will be leading the turtle tour, please only walk behind or alongside him/her, never in front, since we will be able to show you how to distinguish the turtle tracks and we will be able to spot them on time to stop and not scare the nesting turtles. When we see a turtle, you will wait. The local guide will approach her carefully and let you know what she is doing and what you will do.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WALK RITHM</strong>: If at any moment, you need to stop to have a rest, a drink of water, or you´d prefer to walk a bit slower, let us know, there is no problem; the most important thing is walk together.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>LIGHTS: </strong>Turtles are very sensitive to light and flashlights have to use only when are necessary. You might want to bring your white <strong>flashlight </strong>for walking on the trail, which you will need to do in case there is no beach because the tide is too high, but it should be kept away during the rest of the patrol.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WHAT TO BRING: </strong>Always take a <strong>water bottle </strong>with you since we will be working and walking for a long time. Take your <strong>rain gear</strong>, it rains almost every night, even if it´s just for a little while. Use <strong>closed toed shoes </strong>and long trousers, since there is a lot of garbage, spines and timber on the beach that might hurt you, and they are necessary for when walking on the trail. You will also need to use <strong>dark clothes </strong>so that you do not stand out too much at night on the beach. Otherwise, <strong>insect repellent </strong>will help you to enjoy the sea turtle tour easily…….</p>
