Tortuguero National Park 

 After breakfats, enjoy Tortuguero National Park is known as Costa Rica’s "little Amazon".  There are no roads - travel is by boat along a series of rivers and canals or by foot on forest paths.  The park consists of a network of waterways surrounded by a vast tropical rainforest. 

It is one of the best places to observe wildlife in Costa Rica. Tortuguero is a must for visitors who want to experience the amazing wonders of the tropical rainforest!  In Tortuguero visitors will likely see 2 or 3 species of monkeys, iguanas, crested basilisk lizards (they look like miniature dinosaurs!), sloths, lots of water birds, toucans, parrots, parakeets, caiman (cousins of alligators), and possibly crocodiles, as well as colorful tropical forest birds. 

A typical Costa Rican lunch is included  

This afternoon you may enjoy a walk to the local town of Tortuguero.

Dinner at the hotel.
