11. Wildlife of Tortuguero

National Park

LOCATION: North-eastern Costa Rica. Caribbean Sea Side ACCESS: By bus from San Jose to Moin, takes about 3 hours. From Moin to Tortuguero by boat taking about 1 hr. ACCOMMODATION: There are some accommodations around Trtuguero. Many tours from San Jose are organized. I recommend you to join thses tours because it is difficult to get here by yourself and to find accomodation.

BIRDS:→SEE NEXT PAGE The lodges organize boat safari and walking. A lot of water birds are observed around here, for example, Great Frigatebird, Brown Pelican, Anhinga, Olivaceous Cormorant, Snowy Egret, Great Egret, Little Blue-Heron, Green-backed Heron, Purple Gallinule, Northern Jacana, Spotted Sandpiper,etc. OTHERS: Howlar Monkey, Spider Monkey and Brown-throated three-toed sloth are often seen. A lot of Red Poison Dart Frogs are observed in the forest. Green Turtle (July to December) and Leatherback Turtle may be observed on the beach around here in the night.
