Tortuguero N.P. – part one
Tortuguero N.P. – part one
After Cahuita we stay at the Caribean side of Costa Rica but we move up the the north east part of the country.
We will stay in our lodge in the mids of the forrest of Tortuguero.
This Nationale park isn't only made up of forrest (land), but also has a part in the sea itself.
This area is very famous for several species of sea turles which lay their eggs on (in) the beach inside this N.P.
We could see and experience that on a late evening and early night seeying several adults laying making their nests and laying eggs...
and as bonus one nest came out! :banana: (not pictures allowed!)
Beside the rainforrest part in this N.P and the sea it also has many canals, streams and mangrove area.
During this trip we had our own bus, but to get to this part on the country you do need boats!

So on the boat its allready enjoying your surroundings.
Not too fast with the boat because at parts its really shallow and parts of trees are also in the water.
