To take the most advantage out of these experiences, there are nourishment as well as the liberation fee for every turtle one want’s to sponsor.
There are many Sea Turtle Egg Farms in El Salvador’s coastline for example in beaches like Los Cobanos, La Paz, San Luis Talpa, Amatecampo, El Pimental, San Blas and Zunangera; the area of the Lempa river’s delta and in islands like Monte Cristo and Tasajera.
On average, 12,000 Sea Turtles are freed every year in El Salvador. The Egg laying seasons starts in May and its peak occurs during August and September. The Liberation season, on the other hand, starts in July and it lasts until the last weeks of February; its peak happens during October and November.

Necro-tourism is a concept that is becoming stronger and stronger. One can infer by the word that it means visiting for pleasure tombs, graves, cemeteries, or specific places where people have died.
Necro is the greek prefix for death and we all know what tourism is.
San Salvador is not the only city with this modality of tourism, we find it in other cities like Buenos Aires were you can visit Recoleta; we also find it in Montevideo and Paris.
In El Salvador, this tours are organized by the Ministry of Tourism as part of the program Turismo Nocturo or Tourism at Night.

Part 1
As part of the program Turismo Nocturno or Tourism at Night sponsored by the Ministry of Tourismo of El Salvador, we visited Jayaque last Wednesday.
The meeting point was at the Ministry’s building (see the map for reference) at 5:00 pm, That’s when the adventure started.
We departed in 3 huge orange buses provided by the Dr. José Matías Delgado University, all guarded by the National Police, Tourism Department.
We arrived in Jayaque at about 5:50 and we were welcomed by the Major himself. There were many different options to eat dinner at the Park, located at the center of the town, all going from US$0.50 to US$2.50. There were also handcrafted souvenirs and my favorite: Fruit Jelly but not just any Fruit: Annona Jelly, and Jocote Jelly are some of the flavors that Delicias de Jayaque (Jayaque’s Delight) manufactures.
I can’t tell you how good these jellies are. The next they I had 2 toasts for breakfast, one with philadelphia cheese and Annona jelly and the otherone with jocote jelly…. OMG!!! sooo good…
Now back to the subject: Once we all had time to eat dinner, we spited in 4 groups and we visited 4 different historical places at Jayaque:
The first was the Bakarey: It’s been there for more than 20 years and it still uses wood, the bread and sweet bread are soooo good and you can get many things for just US$1.
