Welcome green turtle nesting season

[Maria Uriarte]

When the rainy season arrives, it brings with it a very special and magical natural phenomenum: the green turtle nesting season in the Caribbean Coast.

The green turtle nesting season, normally runs from mid- July to September and the perfect spot to enjoy this great gift fromnature is the town ofTortuguero. 

Every year, Green Turtles visit the Caribbean Coast and emphazise their visit in Tortuguero to lay their eggs. It happens at night  and the Tortuguero National Park Management has an organized, responsable and structured schedule of visits to the beach in order to offer the opoortunity to visitors to enjoy the spectacle, without causing damage to theturtles laying eggs. By September, the birth of baby turtles starts and you can see hundreds of them running to the ocean to start the first journey of their new lives! 

With Horizontes Nature tours you can arrange the typical 3 day/2 night package Tortuguero national park itself or combine it in a full itinerary to mix it with a visit to other must visit areas un Costa Rica. We do recommend during this summer vacation the Tortuguero and Manuel Antonio 7 day package
