Tortuguero

Canals, jungle and sea turtles

About this destination

Tortuguero is one of the most remote and unique destinations in Costa Rica. Reached only by boat or small plane, this village sits on a network of jungle canals packed with wildlife — caimans, toucans, monkeys and, between July and October, the famous green sea turtles that nest on its black-sand beach. We provide private transportation to the boat dock, where the boat tour begins.
