Private Transfer to Tortuguero National Park

Why visit Tortuguero National Park?

Journey from San Jose to the boat launch point for Tortuguero National Park, often called the Amazon of Costa Rica. The 3.5-hour drive to La Pavona takes you through banana plantations and lush Caribbean lowlands before a scenic 1-hour boat ride through jungle-lined canals brings you to the village of Tortuguero. Tortuguero is one of the most important nesting sites for green sea turtles in the Western Hemisphere, with nesting season running from July through October. Beyond the turtles, the park's network of canals is home to caimans, river otters, manatees, howler and spider monkeys, toucans, and over 400 bird species. Boat tours through the canals feel like floating through a living nature documentary. Your private transfer handles the overland portion of the journey in comfort, delivering you directly to the boat dock where your lodge's boat awaits.
