Projeto TAMAR Visitor Center
Centro de Visitantes do Projeto TAMAR
The visitor center of Brazil's sea turtle conservation project, with exhibits on turtle ecology and free evening talks every night.
TAMAR is Brazil's national sea turtle conservation project. Its visitor center at Boldró features turtle specimens, ecological displays and a gift shop. Free educational talks, mainly in Portuguese, are held nightly at around 8 p.m., covering turtles, dolphins and sharks. During the nesting season, you can sign up to join researchers at night to watch turtles come ashore or hatchlings enter the sea. The center is right next to Forte do Boldró, making it a convenient stop after the sunset.
