Tortuguero

Tortuguero is really a small strip of houses.  One one end of the street you have the park, to the east you have the ocean, and to the west you have a river.  

Here is the strip of land called Tortuguero.  The runway (and I use that term loosely) is on that strip.

 This is the Caribbean side of Tortuguero.

We took a canoe trip one morning with our guide, Ross.  He was an amazing guide.  He's a Canadian botonist who has decided to make Tortuguero home.  He knew a lot about the plants and wildlife, which made the trip even more interesting.  He had an opinion on everything.  If you ever find yourself in Tortuguero, Casa Marbella was a great place to stay.  They are the ones that arranged our trip with Ross.  

This is an anhinga.  He was drying off his wings.
