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.

Only travel by boat until arriving, is already incredible. Then the town is another world, without cars, with very nice people and with many children and local life. No need to go with contracted activities, or frustrated because it's not the spawning of sea turtles. The village itself, already well worth.
