Comments on: Tortuguero – Costa Rica Less Traveled http://thebeachsideresident.com/2009/08/tortuguero-costa-rica-less-traveled/ News • Music • Art • Food • Entertainment Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:25:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: David Godfrey http://thebeachsideresident.com/2009/08/tortuguero-costa-rica-less-traveled/comment-page-1/#comment-3614 David Godfrey Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:50:32 +0000 http://thebeachsideresident.com/?p=3755#comment-3614 Great article. If people want to learn about volunteering on the Caribbean Conservation Corporation's sea turtle conservation project at Tortuguero, they can learn more at www.cccturtle.org. I should also note that the photo depicting what looks like hundreds of turtles on the beach at once is not actually Tortuguero; it appears to be an olive ridley turtle arribada on the Pacific. Lastly, while Tortuguero beach may look "muddy", it's actually just crushed granules of volcanic rock giving it a dark color. The sand feels pretty much like white sand on any beach. Great article.
