What did we do today?
- 5:45 am guided canoe trip through the canals at Tortuguero National Park
- Afternoon walk through the park to post 51 - about 2.5 km from the park entrance
Accommodation: Cabinas Tortuguero
Meals: we made our own breakfast and ate dinner at the Budda Cafe
Tortuguero has an amazing abundance of birds and other wildlife. During our time there we saw sloths, toucans, parrots, a flock of green macaws feeding in the almond tree at the edge of the village, various waterfowl, caimans, iguanas, basilisk lizards, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, and white-faced capuchin monkeys.
We were fortunate to have mostly sunny weather during our stay in Tortuguero and so the trails through the park were quite dry.
We booked our guided canoe trip with Tortuguero Adventures as it was connected to our accommodation. We had a knowledgeable guide and traveled in a large canoe powered by a silent electric motor.
Each day that you enter the park you need to purchase a $15 park pass. It is easy to get them online here.
