The Land of the Green Turtle

Vacation packages to Costa Rica including Tortuguero invariably include a trip to view the Green Turtles in the National Park. The northern stretch of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast is one of the most important nesting and breeding sites of this wonderful but endangered creature. Sea Turtles nest between July and September and all vacation hotels in Tortuguero including Mawamba Lodge run tours to enjoy the marvellous sights. Costa Rica is also one of the countries with the hugest variety of bird species and with many on show in Tortuguero National Park all year round, vacations to Mawamba Lodge are ideal for anyone with avian interests.
