How to Get There:

Tortuguero, Limón
Driving from San José, take the Atlantic Coast highway # 32 that passes through Braulio Carrillo National Park, Guapiles , Siquirres and Matina. There are no roads to Tortuguero, so you must take an exciting boat trip through the Tortuguero Canals. A hotel embarkation will pick you up either at Matina, Siquirres or Caño Blanco, depending on water level.
