Introduction

Tour Isla TortugaThe Gulf of Nicoya has a beautiful archipelago that is home to seabirds, white sands, and the flora and fauna that make our Central Pacific coast so special. Within this group of islands, we find the world-famous Isla San Lucas, site of the highest security prison in our history, where human rights did not exist for the prisoners. The time when the prison was in use is known as the dark age of our justice system.

Located 12 miles from Puntarenas, near Kuru and across from Playa Organo, Isla Tortuga (Turtle Island) has an area of 120 hectares with 4 main hills and 500 meters of beachfront. It is maintained as a park and has won the Bandera Azul (blue flag), a distinction conferred in our country for excellent ecological conservation.

All of these ingredients combine to make our trip one of the country's great attractions. The archipelago amazes us from the yacht on our way to our destination: the paradise of Isla Tortuga
