Tortuguero National Park 2D/1N Vacation Package

If you come to Costa Rica expecting to have a real ecological and adventure experience, you can´t miss visit Tortuguero National Park. Named after the Spanish tortuga, meaning turtle, the main attraction in Tortuguero, Costa Rica is the endangered green sea turtles, who come to nest in the black volcanic sands of the park’s 11 miles of protected beach from July to September each year. Seeing the hundreds of behemoth mothers, who can weigh up 700 pounds, haul themselves ashore to dig nests and lay eggs is an experience probably only surpassed by the sight of countless inch-long baby turtles clumsily making their way to the sea two months later. The trip to Tortuguero along natural rivers and lagoons is one of the best experiences in Costa Rica. The lodging at Pachira Lodge or Laguna Lodge, just besides the main canal, is an unforgettable experience.
