"Tortuguero National Park in Costa Rica is a beautiful and rugged destination known for its rich biodiversity and significant sea turtle nesting grounds. To get to Tortuguero from La Fortuna, the best way is to take a combination of land and boat transportation. From La Fortuna, you can travel by shared shuttle or public bus to the town of Guápiles or La Pavona. From there, you can take a scenic boat ride along the intricate network of canals that lead to Tortuguero. This journey allows you to enjoy the natural beauty of the region and provides an opportunity to spot wildlife along the way. It's advisable to arrange transportation in advance and check schedules to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip to Tortuguero National Park. "
"I've not been to Tortugero, because I didn't have enough time, nor the weather was favourable. However, I've been told by friends that is a very nice place to see a lot of wildlife as well as sailing through the mangroves and seeing the landscape. ❗EVA'S TIP: I was told by a friend that is amazing to take the boat from Limón to Tortuguero, instead of going by bus. As the landscape is really beautiful. Lenght of stay recommendation: 2 days Must-do activity: canoying at 6am through the mangroves *pictures not mine "
