Everything you need to know about releasing baby sea turtles in Puerto Escondido. Releasing baby sea turtles has been something I have wanted to do for such a long time, and it was one of the most memorable things we did in Puerto Escondido. Puerto Escondido is a beach town in the state of Oaxaca on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, which is perfect for relaxing and surfing and also has a crazy party scene. It is also the turtle capital of Mexico, with nearly every species of Turtle in the world being found in its waters.
