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.

    We spent just 1 night in Tortuguero but it was enough time. What we enjoyed the most is the 1h boat ride from Pavona to Tortuguero. We saw caimans, birds and enjoyed the lush environment around us...  more »

    Loved our stay in rain forest... Our guide was spectacular...
  • By PlantBase Food
    Loved it! Wildlife adventures with eco sustainable focus, and nice Caribbean folks holding down the services and Flora fauna knowledge. It's a bit pricier here that other CR spots have been but it is lovely and calm but has a good bustling island/remote jungle/ Beach town vibe.
