Location: Caribbean coast, Limón Province, approximately 80 km northeast of the city of Limón.

Tortuguero National Park is an important area of the country due to its remaining tropical rainforests. In addition, the park is crisscrossed by a beautifully scenic natural lagoon and navigable waterway network that forms the habitat of animal species such as land turtles, manatees or sea cows, crocodiles, a wide variety of crabs and 52 different species of freshwater fish, including the gaspar fish.

The park includes a 5-km beach where the main attraction is the arrival of green and leatherback turtles that lay eggs along its shore.
