A brilliant trip that shows the diversity of Costa Rica. From lagoons to rainforests to dry forests and cloud forests and beaches we saw so much of this lovely country and its flora and fauna. Highly recommended.

Adventure Holidays in Tortuguero
On the sun-drenched Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, the remote town of Tortuguero, is a place to let your cares drift away into the ocean waves as you sip on a refresco. But there’s so much to see and do you might not be able to sit still for long.
The national park boasts high rainforests, marshy lands, canals, and is also one of the most important breeding grounds for both the green sea and leatherback turtle. In the nesting seasons (April to May and July to October), it’s possible to see groups of turtles laying eggs in the sand at night.

Peter & Liz Rooke Discover Costa Rica

Ilenia Barausse Discover Costa Rica – with DominicalI absolutely loved Costa Rica, it is such a special place and it makes you appreciate how wonderful our world can be when we look after it! This trip is quite a busy trip and with long drives at times but it is worth it as you get to see so much of this country and its extraordinary diversity of landscapes. Lots of great scenery, wonderful cloud forests, beaches, countryside and amazing wildlife including sloths, hummingbirds, toucans (and numerous other colourful birds), iguanas, monkeys, tree frogs and the most beautiful butterflies I have ever seen. I loved every place we visited but my favourite has to be Tortuguero nature reserve. The boat trips around its waterways spotting wildlife was definitely one of my highlights.
