Visitors may want to head to Tortuguero National Park on the Caribbean Coast for something a little different and a little off the beaten path. This area, accessible only by boat or plane, is one of the wettest areas in the country and offers something different than the rest of Costa Rica. The park is an important breeding ground for the green sea turtle, and as a result, turtle watching is the main activity here.

While there are many beaches, the coastal area is unsuitable for swimming as the surf and currents are rough and strong. Sharks are common. Hundreds and even thousands of green and leatherback turtles can be viewed (guides are necessary) nesting and laying eggs on the beaches overnight. Recent conservation efforts have increased the number of turtles nesting in the area.

From the hiking trails or boat rides along the canals, it's possible to spot monkeys, sloths, and kinkajous. Peccaries and tapirs are also present but more difficult to see. Freshwater turtles, lizards, snakes, frogs, toads, and other amphibians are also common.

Costa Ricans take pride in the National Theater, which is considered the most impressive building in San José. In the 1890s, the ruling coffee barons voted for a tax on coffee exports to fund the theater's construction, and European artisans were imported to design the building.

In 1897, the building featured a classical Renaissance columned façade topped by statues symbolizing Dance, Music, and Fame. Inside, the pink marble foyer features allegorical figures of Comedy and Tragedy, and painted murals depicting themes in Costa Rican life.

The most famous of the paintings is coffee harvesting and export painted by Arturo Fontana in Milan in 1897.

In addition to the waterfall, your admission ticket includes access to the serpentarium, butterfly observatory, jungle cat exhibit, and ranarium (frog exhibit).
