Tortuguero

Lush rainforest and intense mangroves home to species like the spectacled caiman, river turtles, monkeys, sloths and an array of birdlife. Spend the afternoon in the sleepy Caribbean town enjoying the local cuisine or exploring the few local artisans around town. The most popular time to visit is between July and October while high volumes of the green sea turtle return to nest on the same beach they were born on.
