This protected coastal and marine landscape provides opportunities to learn about the relationship between beaches, sea life and conservation. Confirm visitor sectors and current entry arrangements before arriving.
Cerro Tortuguero Outing
The hill offers another perspective on the surrounding waterways and coast. It is a separate outing from the village; confirm access, transport and the physical demands before visiting.
Playa Cocles
Cocles adds another coastal landscape south of Puerto Viejo. Watch the surf from shore and notice how coastal vegetation changes inland; swimming suitability depends on conditions and local guidance.
Punta Uva Coastal Discovery
Punta Uva offers a nearby outing along the southern Caribbean coast. Observe the meeting of forest and sea from permitted areas and leave shells, coral and wildlife undisturbed.
Manzanillo Village Outing
Manzanillo is a separate coastal community south of Puerto Viejo. Explore public areas respectfully and ask about current access to nearby refuge trails before setting out.
Cahuita National Park Outing
Cahuita is a separate outing north of Puerto Viejo. Its protected coastal landscape connects forest and sea; confirm entrance arrangements and trail conditions before visiting.
Tortuguero National Park
This protected area conserves forest, wetlands and important sea turtle nesting habitat. Check current visitor arrangements and explore only authorized routes and sectors.
Tortuguero Canal Discovery
A guided canal outing offers a different view of the forest from the water. Stay quiet, wear the required flotation equipment and allow wildlife to remain undisturbed.
Tortuguero Nesting Beach
The Caribbean shoreline is important nesting habitat for sea turtles. Sightings are never guaranteed. Follow current authorized-guide, lighting and access rules, and never approach nesting turtles independently.
Arenal Hanging Bridge Forest Walk
A managed hanging bridge walk can reveal forest layers at different heights. Choose a site and route suited to your family and follow its access rules; bridges are separate attractions from the national park.
