North of Tortuguero National Park is the smaller
Dr. Archie Carr Wildlife Refuge and then the Barra
del Colorado Wildlife Refuge. The latter refuge contains
habitats similar to those found in Tortuguero National
Park, although much of that refuge is even less accessible.
To the south the park is bordered by the Parismina
River and the Cariari National Wetlands. The park
has worked with the neighboring village of Tortuguero
to help its inhabitants understand that preserving
their natural resources is the key to burgeoning eco-tourism.
The park has incredible biological variety, due to
the existence within the reserve of eleven different
habitats, including rainforest, swamps, beaches, and
lagoons. It is located in a tropical climate, is very
humid, and receives up to 250 inches (6,300 mm) of
rain a year.
Tortuguero, One of Costa Rica's most popular
ecotourism destinations, the canals, rivers, beaches
and lagoons of Tortuguero National Park are a study
of Rainforest, freshwater and marine biology. The
park and small town of Tortuguero are accessible by
boat or small aircraft. When people think of Rainforest,
the first thing that automatically comes to their
minds is Tortuguero.
Tortuguero National Park offers a large variety of
Hotels and Lodges. We selected 5 of them, wth whom
we operate special packages on a daily basis including

"Costa
Rica, although a small country of Tropical America,
with only 0.03 % of Earths surface, is one of the richest
nations in biological terms. The National Study of Biodiversity
shows the country possesses around 505000 species; only
85000 have been described yet. According to this study,
there are around 850 bird species, 228 mammal species,
218 reptile species, 160 amphibian species, around 360000
insect species and around 10000 plant species.
Such
variety is explained by the special place Costa Rica
occupies within the Neotropical region, being a biological
bridge between North and South America. The country
fulfills an important role as a point of encounter and
migration for hundreds of animals and plant species,
in addition of its endemic species.
The country's environmental policies have favored the
conservation of representative samples of the different
ecosystems in the Territory: The National System of
Conservation Areas ( SINAC ) protects 25 % of the country's
territory. 5 % of the planets biodiversity is
protected in tiny Costa Rica."
