Tortuguero National Park

---

Hi from the rain forest. (no I’m not tarzan!)

A nice 2 days trip to Tortuguero, it reminds me a lot of the Amazon rain forest
Finally I meet a Belgian citizen. Yes! Or better ‘Ja wel’.
On the bus to Tortuguero, I meet Dries (from Hasselt - Limburg). We will keep in touch!
The trip was long but it was nice to see the rain forest and we have stopped at Del Monte (banana plantation) and at a beautiful garden with a lot of flowers, butterflies and red frogs.
During the boat trip starts the rain and I was pretty wet after few minutes because I didn’t bring my jacket :-(
The channels on Tortuguero are larger than the ones in the Amazon but we could see some crocodiles, frogs, caimans, a lot of birds but also 3 turtles. Our guide brought a turtle to the boot and we could make some nice pictures.
I slept at the village and the food was really good. There was also a football field near by where the locals played football even with all the rain.
At night I went with the group to the beach to search for turtle eggs but we just saw some broken eggs probably done by predators.

See you on the next stop
