Day 2. PRIVATE DAY TOUR TO TORTUGUERO NATIONAL PARK (B, L) Breakfast at the hotel and departure to Tortuguero National Park.

Enjoy a true ecological adventure in one of the most beautiful National Parks in Costa Rica. Leaving early from San Jose, enjoy the journey through the beautiful Braulio Carrillo National Park in route to Guápiles and later to La Pavona, a beautiful dock located right next to the La Suerte River that communicates with the Tortuguero Canals.

Board our covered and comfortable boat for a 60-minute tour along the Tortuguero Canals. Your guide will explain the rainforest ecosystem and point out the places of greatest interest. Be on the lookout for wildlife, including howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, waterfowl, bats, and crocodiles, as well as abundant vegetation.

Upon arrival in the town of Tortuguero, we will have the opportunity to explore this beautiful Caribbean region. As a first activity we will visit Cerro Tortuguero.

Cerro Tortuguero has an area of ​​approximately 25 hectares and is the highest point on the entire Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, offering spectacular panoramic views of the forest and the dynamics of canals. In addition, it becomes a micro habitat and refuge for many animal and plant species.

The Cerro Tortuguero sector is located on the border with the Tortuguero National Park and just 10 minutes from the community of Barra de Tortuguero, so the visitation is directly related to that of this famous ecological destination in Costa Rica, despite the fact that It should be clear that it belongs to the Barra del Colorado National Wildlife Refuge.

This characteristic means that Cerro Tortuguero can offer, in addition to its spectacular views and impressive nature, an experience of Caribbean coexistence in the community of San Francisco, which is located at the foot of Cerro Tortuguero.

After visiting this impressive place, we will visit the lush tropical jungle and visit Caño Palma, where you can enjoy the dense vegetation of this wonderful national park and if nature allows us, observe its rich wildlife.

Once these activities are carried out, our next stop will be the Town of Tortuguero, with its picturesque Caribbean atmosphere and beautiful colorful houses and shops that invite the visitor to spend a pleasant moment in their community. Here you will find many and different gastronomic options that we will leave to your total discretion so that you can choose the place of your preference. After lunch we will visit the new and modern facilities of the National Park, which have a beautiful viewpoint of the

lagoon and the forest.

Also, if time permits, we will visit the Turtle Museum, which is an ideal place for lovers of turtles and those who wish to learn more about this animal so popular in Costa Rica. It is located at the John H. Pipps Biological Station of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC) in Tortuguero.

The Turtle Museum aims to educate the population on all aspects related to the different species of turtles that come to our country and as an endangered species, in addition to the flora and fauna of Tortuguero. The museum also has information on the turtle spawning cycle.

It is a natural museum to be able to know first-hand different species of turtles that inhabit different parts of Costa Rica and that arrive throughout the year. It is a place where it is remembered that we are facing an endangered species and as such it must be taken care of in a remarkable way.

In the middle of the afternoon, we will board our boat again that will transfer us back to La Pavona and where the bus awaits us to return to San Jose.
