 Fairly
uniform in terms of topography and climate, the northeastern corner of the country is
well-known for the lush tropical rain forests and the sea turtle nesting beaches that are
protected in Tortuguero National Park and Barra del Colorado Nartional Wildlife Refuge.
Together, these two preserves include more than a quarter of a million acres.
Due to the swampy conditions of much of the area, there is no road access. Visitors
must come and go either by boat or plane, thus adding to the adventure of reaching this
region.
The 22-mile stretch of beach extending south from the mouth of the Tortuguero river
is the most important nesting site for Atlantic Green Sea Turtles throughout the entire
Caribbean. These marvelous marine reptiles remain essentially unchanged from their
ancestors that once shared the seas with pelagic dinosaurs. Moving down the coast from the
Caribbean port city of Limón takes you into one of the most culturally distinctive parts
of Costa Rica.
The prettiest beaches on the country’s east coast are located here as are
several famous surfing spots.
