Hotels in Tortuguero

Often compared to Venice and the Amazon, for its navegable canals, the town of Tortuguero is one of Costa Rica’s hidden treasures. Located in the northeastern area of the province of Limón, the village of Tortuguero lies on a sand bar island facing the Caribbean Sea and the Tortuguero River. Its name literally means “place of the turtles” because it’s the yearly setting for the arrival of four different species of sea turtle who nest on its beaches.
