Description
Treat yourself to a fully immersive and exclusive experience in the 'Amazon of Costa Rica' with this full-day package, specially designed for environmentally conscious French-speaking travelers. Avoid large groups and rough translations: here, nature speaks in your language.
First part: The awakening of the forest (Morning session - 5:45 AM)
Your day begins at first light. You will board a traditional wooden canoe, powered solely by the force of the paddles. The absence of an engine allows us to glide silently through the narrowest canals of the National Park. This is the magical time when the mist rises, the howler monkeys greet the sun, and the sloths become active. Your live guide will help you spot caimans, toucans, and the rare tiger heron, while sharing the secrets of this unique ecosystem.
(Free time in the afternoon to relax in the community or take a nap)
Second part: The miracle of life (Evening session - opening hours according to the Park's draw)
As night falls, the adventure takes on a completely different dimension. Equipped with dark clothing and accompanied by your live guide, you will head to Tortuguero beach. This is where the majestic green turtles return to their birthplace to perpetuate the species. In total darkness, illuminated only by the guide's regulated red light so as not to disturb the animals, you will witness the turtles digging their nests, laying their eggs or returning to the ocean. A moving experience, enjoyed in the strictest compliance with conservation charters.
