Testimonial

Testimonial

During my stay, I had the opportunity to feed the tortoises at the breeding center, to see the birth of baby tortoises and even to measure them.  I also really enjoyed my free afternoons to visit the islands, to go on excursions around the island and to simply relax on the beach.
