Tortuguero village

This afternoon we visited Tortuguero village - just across the river from where we're staying. The Caribbean black-sand beach here (see photo) is one of the most important turtle nesting beaches in the world, with 4 of the 7 marine turtle species in the world nesting here. It is not turtle nesting time at the moment, although it was when Laura and I visited Tortuguero in 2005 with our friend Helen; happily the guide we have this time around is a lot better than the one we had then! We are loving reading all of your comments on the blog, it is lovely to hear from our family and friends at home. Please keep your comments coming!もっと詳しく
