Located south of Isla Mujeres we will find the Turtle Farm better known as "Tortugranja" which is a project funded by the government and donors, with the aim of protecting giant sea turtles. Turtles for many years have come to the soft sand of the island to lay their eggs and because they are clumsy in their walk on the sand, they were easy victims for hunters who captured them for their meat, shells and eggs.

In the Tortugranja there are hundreds of sea turtles that have survived thanks to the love and commitment of the people involved in this project and the inhabitants of Isla Mujeres, such as the Hawksbill Turtle, the Green Turtle and the Cahuama Turtle. Thanks to this program, the existence of these species has been ensured, preserving future generations.
