    Wonderful experience! We booked with very little notice and received unbeatable service from Luis from the very beginning. It was clear that our guide, Miguel, was passionate about animals and the park. Highly recommended.

Tortuguero Tours & Activities | Discover Costa Rica's Wildlife

Tortuguero is a unique corner of Costa Rica, famous for its lush rainforests, winding canals, and the impressive sight of sea turtles nesting on its protected beaches. This destination is a paradise for nature lovers, where adventure and tranquility go hand in hand. Here, you can glide through tropical waterways by boat, spot exotic wildlife, and soak up the vibrant rhythms of the Caribbean coast.

A Brief History

Once a remote fishing village, Tortuguero has grown into one of the world's most important conservation sites. Its beaches provide a vital nesting ground for several species of sea turtles. Over the years, dedicated efforts from local communities and conservationists have transformed it into a thriving eco-tourism destination, attracting visitors eager to experience its natural wonders.

When to Visit

Every season offers a different experience in Tortuguero. The main turtle nesting season runs from July to October, with the highest concentrations observed in August and September. However, the region's wildlife can be enjoyed year-round, and its tropical climate means rain is always a possibility, bringing the jungle to life.

What should I pack for my trip?

Lightweight, breathable clothing is recommended, along with rain gear, sturdy walking shoes, insect repellent, sunscreen, and a camera to capture your adventure.
