Park Attractions
Tortuguero is a wilderness area with great biological variety. An infinite number of interconnected channels, waterways, lagoons and lakes are fed by rivers that carry their inland sediment load to the coast. The wildlife is rich and diverse, with eleven different defined habitats, from littoral woodlands to herbaceous lagoons.
The habitats for which Tortuguero National Park is most famous are the coastal and marine areas. Hawksbill, loggerheads, and Pacific Green turtles nest from July through October. The Leatherback, the largest sea turtle species in the world, nests from February to July.
