\r\n Matura<\/span>\r\n <\/h2>\r\n
Matura is one of the largest turtle nesting sites in the Caribbean and is located along the Toco Main Road on the east of Trinidad. \nThe name Matura is a mixture of Spanish and Amerindian and refers to the thick woods, as well as the numerous rivers.\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Each year, more than 10,000 leatherback turtles make the treacherous journey across the Atlantic Ocean to nest on Trinidad\u2019s eastern beaches. Matura is one of the safest nesting beaches for the leatherback, and one can witness the dramatic nesting rituals during the peak turtle-watching season between April and July.\nMatura is undoubtedly one of the most important leatherback nesting sites on the globe.\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t<\/div>\t\r\n\t\t \t<\/div>\r\n\t \t\t<\/div>\r\n \r\n\t \r\n \r\n\r\n\r\n <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
