Furthermore you can find nearly 515 species of birds (75% of the country and 28 are endemic), thousands of insects, and dozens of reptiles and amphibians.

Tortuguero National Park is located in the north-eastern of Costa Rica and is one of the most famous parks at the international level as one of the most important locations for the nesting of olive ridley turtle, leatherback and others. The wildlife in this area is very diverse, there is usually large populations of monkeys, amphibians, birds and fish. Resident wildlife includes tapirs, jaguars, grisons, sloths, frogs, macaws, toucans and bats. The flora in this region is also very diverse and abundant.
