  • The Road to Tortuguero Cheri A
    The Road to Tortuguero Cheri A. Young, University of Denver Terry G. Nicholas, University of Denver David L. Corsun, University of Denver Daryl Loth, Casa Marbella Bed and Breakfast THE ROAD TO TORTUGUERO Everyone ought to see a turtle nesting. It is an impressive thing to see, the pilgrimage of a sea creature back to the land its ancestors left a hundred million years ago. The nest- ing rites begin, for the watcher, at least, when the turtle strands in the surf. That part is hard to watch, those minutes when she comes up with the breakers and stays there for a while, rising with a wave then bumping back softly on the sand, making up her mind. She blinks and peers, turns her nose down and presses it onto the wave-washed bottom, then looks up and all around and blinks some more. She is clearly making a decision. What her criteria are, nobody knows . The turtle is wild and skittish when she first touches shore, and even the light of a match struck far up the beach may send her back to the sea. —Archie Carr, The COPYWindward Road aryl Loth sat on the back porch of the eleven-room bed-and-breakfast that he and his wife operated in the remote village of Tortuguero, Costa Rica. All Daround, the rainforest was dense with the wildlife he loved. Twelve yards from his porch steps was the winding canal to Tortuguero, and fifty yards in front spread a wide black sand beach on the Atlantic Ocean. A biological tour guide, Loth made his living hosting and leading groups of tourists who made the arduous trek to the village to observe the giant sea turtles’ annual return to the beach to lay their eggs and hatch their young.

  • MG Study Travel Program, Costa Rica 2016 Feb 22 – Floating To
    MG Study Travel Program, Costa Rica 2016 Feb 22 – Floating to Tortuguero On our first day of the 2016 MG tour of Costa Rica, we left the big city of San Jose up in the mountains of the central valley, drove across the Continental Divide, and down the Atlantic slope to the Caribbean lowlands. We went from the lush rainforest of Braulio Carrillo National Park at the top of the Central Volcanic Mountain Range down to open pasture, banana plantations – stopping briefly at the edge of one field to look at the plants and bagged fruits – Driving through Braulio Carrillo National Park. Banana plantation (L), inflorescence (LC), flowers (RC), and bagged fruit (R). and other agriculture on the flat lands, to eventually arrive at the landing spot for boat transportation to our lodge in Tortuguero. This small town on the edge of one of the most remote and pristine parks in Costa Rica, Tortuguero National Park, is accessible only by boat or air. This coastal area of northern Costa Rica and adjacent Nicaragua is a low alluvial floodplain with permanent or seasonal swamp forests in the lowest and flattest areas. This was once an archipelago of volcanic islands until alluvial sediments from the interior mountains filled in the spaces and formed an extensive network of marshy islands interspersed by natural freshwater creeks, canals and lagoons, forming the flooded forest. After we were settled in the long, flat boat our captain navigated the shallow water of the tidal canal, slowing to maneuver around submerged obstacles, and speeding up in straight spots.
