🐢 Did you know?
The Ostional National Wildlife Refuge is one of the few places in the world where you can witness the "arribada": the mass arrival of tens of thousands of sea turtles coming ashore to nest. It is a timeless moment that will stay with you forever. 🌊✨
🗓️ When to go?
Peak season: The phenomenon is most frequent between August and November, although different species of turtles can be observed year-round.
🎒 What to pack?
Dark clothing: To avoid startling the turtles.
Headlamp with red light: White light is strictly prohibited as it disorients the animals. 🔴
Light raincoat: Essential for those passing tropical showers.
🤝 Book responsibly
The refuge is a protected area where respecting wildlife is the top priority. To enjoy this experience ethically, it is essential to work with an eco-responsible local tour operator. These certified experts ensure your presence does not impact the nesting cycle and directly support the conservation of the species.
