Tortuguero and the Caribbean coastline around it are exceptional tourist destinations, ideal for people looking for great beaches and nature reserves in Costa Rica.
Visitors will enjoy discovering different marine ecosystems, such as those at Cahuita, Puerto Viejo, Manzanillo, Isla Uvita, Punta Uva, Cocles and Gandoca-Manzanillo.
The port city of Limón is the capital of Afro-Caribbean culture and a good point of departure for exploring the coastline.
Further south is the town of Cahuita, a lovely place with great beaches and some wonderful coral reefs. There is plenty to see and do in this area, including: swimming, diving, fishing, surfing, kayaking, sailing, hiking, horse riding and cycling.
You can also visit indigenous communities and, between the months of July and October, you can see the birthing tortoises.
We recommend visiting the Tortuguero National Park, which has lagoons, canals and rivers that are rich in local plant and animal species.
Other natural park that you should go and see is the Barra del Colorado Refuge, a paradise for lovers of fishing. You can also view the natural parks from the air, given that both have airstrips.
The Gandoca-Manzanillo Reserve and the Cahuita National Park are world-famous for the efforts they make to preserve the natural beauty of the Caribbean.
Tortuguero will fascinate you!

Es un hotel de "batalla" pero tiene unas infraestructuras aceptables para estar en mitad de la selva.
