Posted by CostaRica | Costa Rica Guide | Posted on January 13th, 2010

Tortuguero is a small resort located in the north Atlantic coast of Costa Rica. The national park lies near the town Tortuguero. The town is located about 254 km away from San Jose. This park is considered to be one of the most famous parks in the country and is known worldwide with its unique ecological system.

The City of Tortuguero is located on a narrow strip of the land between the Caribbean Sea and the shadowy muddle of the jungle. Very often the city is called “Venice of Costa Rica”, but, in fact, the landscape and the nature has much more in common with the South American Amazon. The green sea turtles lay eggs on the beaches of the resort from June to October. This region is really a remarkable sightseeing which attracts tourists from all over the world.

One of the popular tourist services is boating through Tortuguero.

The climate is very favorable and is rather stable. The climate here is only changeable during the dry and rainy season. The temperature variations during the year are very slight. A great difference between the night and the daytime temperatures are observed during the “dry season”, but they do not exceed five degrees of Celsius. “Rainy Season” is characteristic of a rainfall in the afternoons.
