Monteverde to Playa Grande

Although the journey from Monteverde to Playa Grande is bumpy and steep, with roads being riddled with potholes, gorgeous beaches and visits from the majestic sea turtles are a nice treat to many. Playa Grande is home of the Leatherback Sea Turtles. They lay eggs and build nests between October and March and between April and September, the eggs hatch and thousands of baby turtles hobble their way into the ocean. To witness this beautiful scene and get up close and personal with these sea creatures, arrange a tour at Las Balulas National Park. Stay at the charming Hotel Las Tortugas where you can take in views of the sunset from your room.
