Tortuguero National Park

Attractions:

Sea turtle observation program: in partnership with a local organization, turtle trackers are established, specialized people who detect turtles when they leave the sea. Visitors wait in waiting bases receiving valuable information until the turtle is in the spawning process and it is possible to observe. Spawning season from June to October.
El Jaguar Land Trail: This linear trail runs 2.5 km parallel to the beach, being the trail used during the Turtle season. It is clearly demarcated with entrances to the beach every 100 meters and numbered from 37 to 60. During the spawning season, turtle tracks and nests can be seen. You can find animals such as hawks, monkeys, crosses and a large number of dragonflies and butterflies.
