Leatherback Turtles on the Pacific in Costa Rica 2024-2025

Costa Rica is full of spots to watch turtles during their nesting period

Best time: September–March

The largest of all living turtles, the leatherback can measure up to around 2 meters and weigh up to 700 kg! Come to the Pacific coast of Costa Rica to watch these huge but cute guys nesting, since this is the time when they are the least scared of people.
