About Tortuguero
Accessible only by boat or plane, Tortuguero is one of the Western Hemisphere's most important green turtle nesting sites. The park's network of canals and lagoons supports manatees, river otters, caimans, and extraordinary birdlife. The canals evoke the feel of an Amazonian waterway deep in the Caribbean lowlands.
