    Awesome seeing the turtle lay her eggs!

    Ellyn_J, Jul 2025
    Arranging the time to meet was a bit confusing until we understood that it depended on the nature preserve rangers spotting a turtle. We learned about how the turtle lays the eggs. When we were notified, we moved quickly along the path to the beach and turtle location. Absolutely beautiful and amazing, seeing the giant turtle lay her eggs and begin the process of camouflaging them. A beautiful sight!

    Wonderful Night Watching of Turtles

    Javier_C, Oct 2025
    An inescapable appointment in the visit to Tortuguero. A beautiful to observe the spawning of turtles at night with our guide Karla, a great passion of turtles who explained in detail the biology of the species that arrive to Tortuguero, all of them threatened with extinction. We were able to observe 2 turtles weighing about 150 kg at different stages of the process: one in the middle of spawning and subsequent camouflage, and a second turtle on its way back to the sea.
