Participate in an exclusive nighttime guided tour at Tortuguero where experts share insights into the intricate nesting process of sea turtles. Witness this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon firsthand, surrounded by the serene beauty of the area's rich biodiversity.

Sea turtles play a crucial role in ensuring the survival of their species through the arduous task of egg-laying. On a guided tour at Tortuguero, visitors have the opportunity to witness the intricate nesting process firsthand. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, participants embark on a journey to observe the sea turtles as they deposit their precious offspring onto the sandy shores.

During the nesting season, which spans from July 1st to October 31st, guests are invited to engage with the fascinating world of these ancient creatures. They will have the privilege of witnessing four out of seven key stages involved in the hatching process. These stages include:

1. Egg Laying: A critical moment where the female sea turtle deposits thousands of eggs into a carefully chosen nest site.

2. Compaction of Eggs: After laying, the eggs undergo a meticulous compaction process to prepare them for incubation.

3. Camouflage of Nest: Once compacted, the nest is covered with vegetation to provide camouflage against predators and environmental hazards.

4. Return to Sea: Finally, after several days of incubation, the hatchlings emerge from the nest and make their way back to the ocean.

While observing the sea turtle nesting, visitors should maintain a relaxed demeanor and arrive at least an hour early to allow the turtle sufficient time to complete the entire process. This allows for optimal viewing conditions and ensures a memorable experience.

Upon completion of the initial observations, guests are encouraged to proceed to the hotel, marking the end of their exciting adventure in the natural habitat of sea turtles.
