    There are no roads to Tortuguero. The National Park and refuge consist of a vast alluvial floodplain. Located in the extreme northeast of Costa Rica, Tortuguero’s tropical moist to wet forest is accessible only by small plane or boat, along the famous Tortuguero Canals. This system of rivers and man-made channels parallels the coast and cuts through beautiful primary forest.

    One of the wettest regions in the country, it is also one of the areas with the greatest biological diversity. The wildlife is rich and varied. It is an excellent area for viewing monkeys, sloths, caimans, and colorful tropical birds. Most exploring is done by small boat in Tortuguero, although some hiking trails are available. 

    In fact, Tortuguero gets it name from the Spanish word for turtle and is the most important nesting site in the entire western half of the Caribbean for the green turtle. Other species of sea turtles that also nest on the wide beaches of the park and refuge are the leatherback and hawksbill. Simple lodges with homestyle cooking characterize the accommodations of Tortuguero.
