Tours in Tortuguero, Costa Rica

X

Hi! Hola! Previt! Bon Jour! Ciao! Guten Tag! Sign up Now! for fun info on traveling to Latin America!

As we were forewarned, rain and Tortuguero go hand in hand. Although, at 5:30 AM, I would have preferred that the clouds had waited just a little longer before opening up and pouring out all their contents all over us. Ironically, when I awoke that morning I specifically asked to have the whole Tortuguero experience and that I did. The tours intention was for us to see the corridor between Tortuguero village and the actual National Park where a lot of wildlife travel from one end to the other. Needless to say, we didn’t see much wildlife and were excited to come home and dry off before a yummy breakfast.

Lucky for us, by the time our bellies were stuffed, the sun came out and we were ready for round two.

Now this was a tour worth waiting for! It was as though the animals knew we didn’t get a good enough introduction to their way of life, and collectively decided to show us all that was going on. We saw birds that our tour guide said international birdwatchers would drool over. The otters were scratching their backs and playing in the water. The crocodiles were floating around leisurely and bugs of all shapes and sizes were going about their business. Every turn we took, we all ooohh-ed and aaahh-ed in unison at the wonders all around.
