Tortuguero National Park is the best place in Costa Rica to encounter wildlife, Because of its remote location and difficult access this pristine Rainforest remains virtually untouched and it is home to many animals like sloths, monkeys, crocodiles, toucans, trogons, water birds, colorful frogs and butterflies. This National Park is also the prime nesting site for the green and leather-back sea turtles from June to October, during which months an optional turtle nesting night- tour will be available.
If you are a big wildlife enthusiast or a bird watcher we highly recommend the three day stay! This option includes one extra night of lodging, 3 more meals and extra time at leisure.
What To Bring:
Light clothes, swimming suit, sunscreen, hat, camera (ideally water proof), water bottle, comfortable walking shoes, insect repellent, binoculars, raincoat. For the night-tour please wear dark clothes.
Location and Availability:
The Tortuguero Expedition 3 Days 2 Nights is available from Alajuela, Cahuita, La Fortuna (Fortuna), Puerto Viejo, and San Jose.
