... First of 3 amazing postcards from dear postcard friend Andrene☺️... on a tour "The Wonders of Costa Rica" a journey through Costa Rica's most diverse natural wonders... Tortuguero National Park, often called the "Amazon of Costa Rica," is a remote Caribbean paradise completely surrounded by water and accessible only by boat or small plane... famous for its dense rainforest canals, swamps, beaches and lagoons.... immense biodiversity, incredible wildlife and sea turtle nesting sites... Tortuga means turtle and Tortuguero "region of turtles"... it is the most important nesting site for the endangered green sea turtle in the Western Hemisphere... interested in "ecotourism" then your premier point of destination is arguably Tortuguero... Thanks a lot Andrene! (✿◠‿◠)
