Sea turtles are very intelligent creatures of nature; they continue coming to Puerto Vallarta regardless of the swine flu scare, the border town drug wars, or the global recession! They don’t visit Vallarta for its perfect climate, its eight beautiful golf courses, its world class deep sea fishing, its hundreds of fine restaurants, nightclubs and discotheques, its magnificent sunsets, or the colorful tropical flora and fauna in the surrounding Sierra Madre hillsides; they visit Vallarta strictly for its 35 miles of sandy beaches. However, the fact that they love the beaches around PV is only a small clue as to what makes the sea turtles so incredibly intelligent.

Sea turtles constitute a single radiation that was distinct from all other turtles during the Late Cretaceous Period, the “age of dinosaurs”, at least 100 million years ago. It’s hard to imagine that approximately 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous–Tertiary Extinction Event (KT Mass Extinction), the planet endured catastrophic events such as massive asteroid impacts and/or tremendous volcanic activity resulting in significant climate changes affecting all of the Earth’s plant and animal life. Sea turtles were among the few species to survive these traumatic events and related climate changes.

The Camoes Garden and Grotto is the oldest and largest among Macau’s public gardens. Spanning an area of 20,000 square meters, the park is a haven of lush tranquility. Meandering pathways take the visitor through the sights of hills, majestic trees, and grass brightened by an abundance of colorful flowers.

The garden was originally a section of the residence of the Chairman of the British East India Company. In 1886, following the death of the succeeding owner, a Portuguese merchant, it was gifted to the state in memory of the renowned Portuguese poet Luis de Camoes. The poet lived for two years in Macau and is said to have spent much time in the park composing poetry. The grotto was built in 1835 by the Portuguese trader encircling a bust of Luis de Camoes. The government later constructed the bronze bust seen today. The grotto also contains inscriptions of the poet’s most widely read poems. On June 10th annually, the Portuguese in Macau gather at the grotto to commemorate the poet.
