Tamar Project
The Tamar Project in Barra da Lagoa rescues and cares for injured and sick turtles that appear on the coast of the region. While they are being treated and medicated, you can see them in the recovery tanks and take part in some activities, such as feeding the turtles. It is a great awareness space, with lots of information and fun activities, perfect for families.
The Tamar Project in Barra da Lagoa was founded in 2005, mainly as a reception and support center for sick or injured turtles. They are cared for for as long as necessary, when visitors can observe their routine until the moment they are released back into the sea, it's a very emotional moment to see the release of the healthy turtles back to their home.
