The remote river system in the Tortuguero area has miles of canals and is home to an amazing array of wildlife, from river otters and manatees to crocodiles, ocelots, and many species of birds.
The biodiversity of the area is almost overwhelming. Rich in flora and fauna, an abundance of water and food sources means the jungle and river system is teeming with life.
Keep your eyes open for turtles, otters, manatees, crocodiles, and fish in the water. On the shorelines are wild cats, many types of birds, lizards, snakes, and insects. And overhead are sloths, three types of monkeys, and more birds.
Enjoy the easy paddle and floating in a canoe or kayak.
The tours begin with pick up at your lodging* and include a cup of coffee, fruits, bottled water, and life vests.
