Tortuguero National Park
An exuberant blanket of dense rainforest encompasses over 77 000 acres on the north-eastern coast of Costa Rica at Tortuguero National Park, a biodiverse wonderland and sanctuary for a rich array of wildlife, including jaguars, monkeys, sloths, and an astonishing variety of bird species.
The park's name, meaning "Land of Turtles," highlights its significance as a nesting ground for several sea turtle species, most notably the endangered green turtles. A network of canals weaves through the lush rainforest, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore by boat or kayak, immersing themselves in the park's unparalleled natural beauty. Pristine beaches, vibrant mangroves, and dense forests make Tortuguero National Park a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and conservationists, where adventure and ecological wonders intertwine harmoniously.

THINGS TO SEE AND DO IN TORTUGUERO NATIONAL PARK
Witness Sea Turtle Nesting
From July to October, Tortuguero becomes the stage for one of nature’s most extraordinary performances - sea turtles nesting under moonlight. Watch in quiet awe as these ancient creatures lay their eggs on the beach they were born on. It’s a moving, unforgettable experience.
Explore the Jungle Canals by Boat
Glide through Tortuguero’s maze-like waterways, where each turn reveals something new - howler monkeys swinging in the treetops, sunbathing caimans, and maybe even a sleepy sloth. A guided boat or kayak tour is the best way to experience the soul of this lush water-bound world.
