• Tortuguero: Your Trip Manager will give you a quick orientation tour to show you where the best bucket list spots are. Oh, and don’t panic, they’ll also recommend their favourite eateries too.
• Puerto Viejo: …and marvel at the gorgeous Caribbean Sea as you go!
• Tortuguero: These winding canals are home to all sorts of wildlife, including herons, kingfishers, poison dart frogs and a few types of monkey too – so keep your eyes peeled (and your camera at the ready too).
