Summary: A big thank you to Hugo for this superb tour of the park by boat! He is a warm, passionate and very pedagogical person: he taught us a lot about Tortuguero, the park and animals. Thank you again for this beautiful moment!

Summary: When we arrived it was a tropical downpour - they had very heavy duty rain ponchos that keep us dry. Our guide Barnal was very kind and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone saw the wildlife -even teeny tiny long-nosed bats! It amazes me the things he could spot! He took us deep into the canals where it was peaceful and magical. We saw crocodiles, caiman, an anteater, iguanas and so many birds! It was a great trip.
