What To Expect
Tortuguero is one of the most important nesting sites for Atlantic Green Sea Turtles in the Caribbean during the months of July to October. During the night at high tide, the females come to lay their eggs.

In the past, during the turtle nesting season, the people used to crowd the beach looking for the turtles, so they were easily disturbed because of too many people around them. If there are too many people on the beach, the turtles return to the ocean without laying their eggs. Now, the Tortuguero National Park, the STC and the turistic industry, are working with a new system; instead of having all the visitors walking down the beach, professional spotters search for the nesting females, once they find one, they radio the position to the guides, and the guides take the visitors directly where she is nesting, using a trail behind the beach. You and your guide will be waiting for this call at a specific place sorted by TNP
