On the sun-drenched Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, the remote town of Tortuguero, is a place to let your cares drift away into the ocean waves as you sip on a refresco. But there’s so much to see and do you might not be able to sit still for long.
The national park boasts high rainforests, marshy lands, canals, and is also one of the most important breeding grounds for both the green sea and leatherback turtle. In the nesting seasons (April to May and July to October), it’s possible to see groups of turtles laying eggs in the sand at night.
