Travel to Tropical Tortuguero and Caribbean Coast

Tortuguero and the Caribbean Coast is perfect for those wanting a mix of wildlife spotting, beach time and a laidback vibe. The main draw of this stunning region is the Tortuguero National Park, only accessible by boat or seaplane but there is so much to see and do in this paradise. The rainforest and beaches seem out of this world and make for a truly tropical getaway.

This is one of the least developed regions in Costa Rica so those seeking to be amongst nature  will be truly rewarded in this beautiful destination. In fact, Tortuguero means the 'dwelling of turtles' in Spanish so this is a Purpose Travel favourite. Whilst this coast is more laidback than the Pacific Coast, there are some small towns where you can sample the unique cuisine of this area of the country and enjoy their shops, bars and restaurants. 

• exploring Tortuguero National Park and see the different species of sea turtles nesting with a guide (certain months of the year). There are also huge and varied ecosystems here, home to hundreds of species of birds, mammals and amphibians 

• taking an organised snorkel or dive to see underwater shipwrecks and colourful coral reefs in the Cahuita National Park 

• relaxing on the sands of Punta Uva beach, a truly stunning Caribbean coastline

• grabbing a drink at one of the lively beach bars in Puerto Viejo

• sampling delicious coffee and chocolate on a tour at one of the independent producers in the region
