Tortuguero, A Costa Rica Ecotourism Highlight

Costa Rica offers to its visitors a wide range of activities and attractions, spread out all over the country; from coast to coast our visitors can find lots of options and destinations to explore in our country.

Tortuguero is one of the highlights, very popular among the nature lovers; this national park offers wide biodiversity of flora and fauna species. Nestled in the north part of the Costa Rican Caribbean Coast, this area offers unique characteristics to its visitors.

Turtle-nesting is one of the main reasons why many people choose it, hundreds of turtles arrived at the beaches from July to October, being one of the most important nesting sites in the world.

The access to the area can be little complicated, but this does not stop the thousands of tourists visiting Tortuguero every year. The two options to get there are by boat or by air, being the boat the most popular way to reach this destination.

Most tourists prefer to go through the canals both natural and artificial, that travel parallel to the coast, and give to their visitors stunning views of the dense tropical forest and many chances to spot the variety of wildlife living in its surroundings.

This number of flora and fauna species needed it to be protected; this is why the national park was created, which houses around 300 bird species and 60 mammal species.

The destination offers not only truly natural beauty and real contact with nature, but also a unique and nice feeling of a fishermen community immersed in the middle of the beautiful canals and the Caribbean Sea. Check on more infoabout this town and accommodation services.
