Marie and I had spring break the week before Easter, so the family went on a tour of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. We started out on the northern part in a remote village called Tortuguero. It’s a small town with no roads or cars, but it does have an inland canal that serves as its “highway.” The canal connects with various other canals and rivers to create a network that will get you fifty miles south to the main port of Limon.
The town is long and narrow, squeezed onto the sliver of land between the canal and the beach. We stayed at a B&B right on the main path so could walk around to check out the local bakeries, tourist shops, and restaurants. The heat and humidity encouraged us to slow down and to enjoy time on the canal-side deck reading in the shade. An interesting and relaxing place.
