Tortuguero National Park

You must be very lucky to have the opportunity to see an even more spectacular event, the baby turtles running to the sea. There is some overlap of nesting and hatching seasons of the different varieties of turtles. The eggs incubate in the... warm sand of 7 to 10 weeks before the baby is born, they dig their way to the surface and then make the long and dark journey overland from the nest to the sea high above the tide line high.
