Tortuguero

Tortuguero - Probably our highlight during more than four weeks of Costa Rica.
We took the bus from Puerto Viejo to Limon and then a taxi to the docks of Moin. After a 3,5h boat ride we finally made it to Tortuguero.
A very nice village between a canal and the ocean.
The labyrinth of canals was the reason to come here. On TripAdvisor we found a German biologist offering canoe tours into the jungle. She lives in Tortuguero for more than 25 years now and is an expert for wildlife.
It was just we and her doing that tour. Three hours we’ve been paddling through the canals while the sun broke through the branches and built a special atmosphere. We saw monkeys, caimans, turtles, birds and lizards.

The next day we went to a viewing point on sendero Cerro, a small volcano and visited the sea turtle conservancy.Leggi altro
