Discover the Wonders of Costa Rica: From San José to Tortuguero
Begin your adventure as we depart from San José and journey towards the lush Caribbean side of Costa Rica. Our route takes us through the enchanting Braulio Carrillo National Park, where you'll be awed by the verdant cloud forest and captivating waterfalls visible from the road.
After traversing Braulio Carrillo, we’ll indulge in a delicious traditional Costa Rican breakfast. Next, we’ll visit a Banana Plantation, where your guide will unravel the intriguing process of banana cultivation and exporting this vital crop.
The highlight of your day awaits as we proceed to the embarkation dock for an exhilarating boat trip into Tortuguero National Park. Spanning 29,000 hectares, Tortuguero is renowned as a key nesting site for the green sea turtle(Chelonia mydas). The park’s lush forests and winding waterways are home to a range of endangered wildlife, including sloths, monkeys, agoutis, coatimundis, and manatees. Bird watchers will be thrilled to spot toucans, trogons, egrets, herons, and aninghas, while crocodiles, turtles, and an array of vibrant butterflies, such as the striking blue morpho, enhance the park's biodiversity.
Following this adventure, enjoy a hearty buffet lunch featuring traditional Costa Rican fare. Afterward, take a leisurely walk through Tortuguero Village, where you can explore the town’s rich history and learn about the local community.
