Good to know

Tortuguero is reachable only by boat (from La Pavona or Moín) or a small plane — there are no roads in.
Green turtle nesting season is July–October; the night nesting tour is the headline experience.
Pack cash — the village runs on colones and cards are spotty. Bug spray is non-negotiable.
