In the morning we will head to
Tortuguero, a well-known national park in the northeast of Costa Rica, a journey of about three hours. The name Tortuguero means home of turtles. Tortuguero's 20-mile long oasis is lined with natural canals on one side and the beautiful Caribbean Sea on the other. Entering Tortuguero by water, you're in Jurassic Park: huge tropical trees, animals you've never seen before, and the whole national park is peaceful and beautiful. Tortuguero is an annual breeding base for endangered green sea turtles, hawksbill turtles and leatherback turtles, and from July to mid-October you can see turtles laying eggs on the beach.
At your own expense, you can take a boat ride, go canoeing, or walk to get up close and personal with the wildlife in the park: including 350 species of birds, three- and two-toed sloths, spider monkeys, white-faced monkeys and howler monkeys, jaguars, anteaters, wild boars, and a variety of amphibians and reptiles.
In the afternoon, head to the village of Tortuguero to learn about its history and culture, and at the end of the tour, stroll back to your hotel from the beach. Free time after dinner.
