Discover the real turtle haven – Costa Rica, where endangered turtles live. Here you will see the largest turtles on Earth, the leatherback turtles, whose front flipper span can measure up to 3 meters! The Costa Rican Tortuguero National Park was created to protect these and other species of turtles – sea, green and hawksbill, and is also one of the biggest attractions of sightseeing tours in Costa Rica. On the beautiful, wide beach here, in the right season, turtles lay eggs and then return to the sea. The tiny turtles hatch from their shells, and then cover the long distance for such small creatures from the beach to the sea. In the evening, you can observe this amazing phenomenon, if you are lucky!
