Estación Las Tortugas
This newer leatherback project is located on the Caribbean coast adjoining the Pacuare Reserve (see next listing). The owner/operator is Stanley Rodriguez—a Costa Rican with years of turtle experience—and his family. The accommodations are rustic and the food basic—rice & beans. The location is very rural and very remote—you must take a boat through canals to get to the beach. This project is community-oriented, working with former poachers as guards.
