Tortuguero: Turtle Tour Leatherback May, Green Turtle season｜Costa Rica

Begin your experience at dusk, when you meet your certified local guide. Receive a brief introduction about the turtle species, their behavior, and the necessary guidelines for responsible observation. Then, in small groups, head to the assigned beach following strict conservation protocols.

Embark on a nighttime walk through trails surrounded by tropical rainforest, where the sounds of the forest create an immersive and unique atmosphere. During the walk, observe different forms of nocturnal life such as frogs, insects, and other animals native to the ecosystem, while your guide shares interesting information about the area's biodiversity.

The most anticipated moment arrives at the beach, where, if natural conditions allow, you can witness the incredible nesting process of sea turtles. Watch as they emerge from the ocean, carefully choose a spot, dig their nest, lay their eggs, and finally cover it before returning to the sea. All of this is done under strict measures to not interfere with their natural behavior, ensuring an authentic and respectful experience.

Throughout the activity, receive environmental interpretation that allows you to understand the importance of conserving these species and the crucial role Tortuguero plays globally. At the end, return safely to the starting point, carrying with you not only an unforgettable memory but also a deeper connection with nature.
