Tamarindo – Playa Minas: this is one of the most important nesting sites in Costa Rica. A high number of turtles come to this place from October to March. Escape from the usual and come and live this incredible sea turtle experience. There is the opportunity to see up to three different types of baby turtles. This is one of the most intimate nature experiences one can have. During the tour, professional guides will provide useful information and detailed explanations of each procedure that the turtles tend to perform. They will also provide you with infrared light so that you can clearly appreciate the turtles and take your own photographs.
