Turtle Season is HERE!! The turtles are coming up on the beaches around the Banderas Bay and all along the 
Riviera Nayarit. All of the camps have been very busy, especially with the weather and high waters on the playa.
Several turtles came up and laid their eggs right at Breakers Beach Bar in Bucerias. Turtle egg rescuers came and took the eggs for the incubation of 45 days; they are hatched and then released at night increasing the chances survival.
If you would like to be a part of the turtle egg protection programs and turtle conservation projects there are several to choose from on the Riviera Nayarit.
Here are a few of the organizations. This photo is from San Pancho Turtles team 
this season. It is quite easy to find them and easy to communicate with them on their facebook pages.
They need all the assistance they can get due to egg poachers.

Classic Rock Festival 2014 / Nuevo Hard Rock Hotel
Mark your calendars for the first Vallarta – Nayarit Classic Rock Festival on December 11th through December 14th. 
it will be taking place at the Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta and the neighboring field Sunset Garden. This rock fest will feature some of the best music from the 60:s, 70′s and 80′s.
There will be an amazing lineup of musicians like legend Billy Burnette from Fleetwood Mac and, on joining in on Skype, the great “Skunk” Baxter from the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan.
To Quote the creator and group producer John Zaning of the Aaring Group, ““Vallarta-Nayarit is the perfect stage to present this first-ever festival of its kind to the world. The climate in December is amazing and the beaches are absolutely stunning.” And think he is absolutely correct in that statement!
The House Band for the festival is made up of stars from different bands including Burnette, Baxter and others from Dire Straits, Steve Miller Band, Little Feat, Boston, John Mellencamp and Tears for Fears, and playing with big stars form The Doors, The eagles, Cheap Trick and REO Speedwagon and more!
