Since 2018, Playa Bandera became the epicenter of one of the most anticipated shows by ecological tourism lovers: the release of approximately 150 leatherback turtles brought together people from different parts of the country.
For the release, volunteers walk more than 20 kilometers at night to search and rescue the eggs, which are transported and cared for for months to culminate in births like the one that occurred yesterday in the Central Pacific.
This initiative began in 2018 with the initiative of Víctor Carmona who was the founder and today, 6 years later, he continues to be one of the main protagonists of this dynamic. He has participated in the release of more than 5 thousand leatherback turtles.

It is divided into three sections: Esterillos Este, Esterillos Centro and Esterillos Oeste.
The beaches of Esterillos Centro and Este, separated by the Bejuco River, have mangrove areas. Esterillos Oeste is characterized by the presence of rocky promontories and small streams where you can spot wildlife, such as iguanas, crocodiles and a great variety of birds. It is separated from Playa Hermosa by Punta Judas. It has a section of rocky bottom with strong waves during high tide, while to the west there is another area of sandy bottom. Towards the north of this beach, the rocks form natural pools, where fossil remains can be found.
Esterillos Oeste is also known because it is home to La Sirena, a sculpture of a mermaid sitting on the rocks looking towards the ocean. When the tide rises, water covers the pedestal of the work, so that the statue appears to emerge from the surface of the sea. This monument, cast in bronze, is the work of Puriscaleño sculptor Albino Valverde.
These beaches are easily accessible by motorable road all year round, which is why they are highly visited by national and foreign tourism. In them you can carry out a large number of recreational activities: surfing, snorkeling, diving, swimming, hiking on foot and horseback, camping. In the area there are a large number of accommodations and cabins, and a landing strip.
