Exploring the pristine river and rainforest habitat in silence is the most effective way to see Costa Rica's wildlife in its natural state. Listen to the sun-dried seed pod of the Gavilan Tree burst, the call of the Chestnut Mandible Toucan in the distance, and the sound of spider monkeys crashing through the trees.Your experienced naturalist guide will point out birds and animals hidden in the rainforest foliage and explain how diverse coastal ecosystems coexist in perfect synchronicity.

There is something magical about watching a birth of any kind. Watching the tiny turtles on the way to their water realm is a one in a lifetime experience. 

You will walk the beach either in the early morning hours or right before sunset in search of a nest that has started to hatch, accompanied by the best Tortuguero guides available. To get to the water, young turtles first dig their way out of the nest. In 25 to 30 years, they will return to this beach and the life cycle will start over.

It is important to acknowledge that nature is unpredictable and although there are high possibilities of seeing the baby turtles, sometimes you just don't.
