Tortuguero, Costa Rica: Tortuguero Village. In the afternoon, you can explore the Tortuguero village and visit the local museum, or choose from other activities offered by your local host or spend the rest of the day relaxing by the pool or wandering the lodge’s estate at your own pace. This is your chance to unwind and soak in the natural beauty of this unique destination.
Tortuguero Village is a small community of about 1,200 people, nestled on a narrow peninsula in northeastern Costa Rica. With the Caribbean Sea on one side and a wide, jungle-backed canal on the other, this charming town is known as the place where turtles go. It’s an incredible wildlife destination and one of the most important turtle nesting sites in the world, where four species of endangered sea turtles instinctively return to lay their eggs.
The main attraction here is Tortuguero National Park, which includes both the nesting beaches and the surrounding rainforest and mangroves teeming with diverse wildlife.
