Discover Tortuguero National Park – Costa Rica Eco-Friendly Travel
Tortuguero National Park is a remote, roadless paradise on Costa Rica’s northeastern Caribbean coast. Often called the “Amazon of Costa Rica,” it spans over 77,000 acres of rainforest, lagoons, and canals teeming with wildlife. It’s globally famous as the largest nesting site for endangered green sea turtles in the Western Hemisphere. Expect howler monkeys swinging overhead, sloths lounging in trees, caimans gliding through the water, vibrant birds like toucans and macaws, and the thrill of spotting turtles laying eggs on dark beaches.
Woke up to waves on the left side
Right side
A river runs slow,
Sand like a ribbon between them
Green on my toes,
Breeze on my nose.
Bare feet kick dust through the village.
Boats tied in bright crooked rows.
Kids chase a flat ball,
All laughing,
Parrots complain from the mangos.
Thin strip of paradise
Tortuguero
Ocean to river in one spin around.
Step,
Step,
Turn,
I’m between two worlds.
Heart keeps dancing to this little town.
Oh
Thin strip of paradise,
Tortuguero.
Salt on my lips,
Sweet rain in the air,
Every small street,
Every smile I meet,
Says,
“You’re home as long as you’re here” (hey!)!
Marimba sings in the doorway,
Old man leans back in his chair,
He taps the tune with his sandals,
Stories of turtles and storms in his stare.
Quijongo hums like a sunrise,
Strings shake a gold-colored sky,
Women stir pots,
Rice and plantain,
Steam drawing circles the birds want to try.
Thin strip of paradise,
Tortuguero.
Ocean to river in one spin around.
Step,
Step,
Turn,
I’m between two worlds,
Heart keeps dancing to this little town.
Oh
Thin strip of paradise,
Tortuguero.
Salt on my lips,
Sweet rain in the air.
Every small street,
Every smile I meet,
Says,
“You’re home as long as you’re here” (oh yeah).
Left hand in the sea foam,
Right hand in the river’s glass.
I taste today on my tongue,
Hope this moment never moves past.
Night falls soft on the rooftops,
Moon paints a silver canoe,
Drums in the dark start a party,
Stars keep the beat up above us two.
Thin strip of paradise,
Tortuguero.
Ocean to river in one spin around.
Step,
Step,
Turn,
I’m between two worlds.
Heart keeps dancing to this little town.
Oh,
Thin strip of paradise,
Tortuguero.
Salt on my lips,
Sweet rain in the air.
Every small street,
Every smile I meet,
Says,
“You’re home as long as you’re here” (hey!)
Yeah,
You’re home as long as you’re here.
