National Park Wildlife Area Must See
Visit the vast reserve of Tortuguero National Park, an area of diverse natural beauty encompassing 11 different habitats in one place. Famed for its returning sea turtle population, who nest on the beaches to spawn their young, you’ll have the opportunity to take a guided night visit in the hopes of seeing the turtles laying their eggs, or even seeing the hatchlings make a break for the ocean. Take a boat through the rich mangrove forests, spotting primates, caiman, and plenty of birds.

    The Park is designed for the good be animals and that's good, however, we see that very little. Crocodile, sloth, and monkey, sparingly, but in fact the boat ride does not bring much in this regard.

    Unique water world teeming with animals. Great start to our Costa Rica holiday. Turtles didn't come out for us but still had a great dusk walk down the pretty wild beach.  more »

    Is wonderful to have the luck that we had to see spawn the turtle on the beach... and see it as it was again offshore... Worthwhile and more is well if you have over lucky enough to see the birth of a whole nest of turtles and their March to the sea... It is worth
