Ostional Wildlife Refuge Costa Rica Off the Beaten Path for Tourist
Want to sea marine turtles lay their eggs in the sandy beach? Then travel to Costa Rica and witness the Oliver Ridley sea turtle lay its eggs at Ostional beach on the Pacific side of Costa Rica and visit the Ostional Wildlife Refuge created to protect one of the world's most important nesting sites for the marine turtle , the Olive Ridley, or Lora as it is called in Costa Rica. This wildlife refuge is definitely off the beaten path for tourist but very much worth while to make the trip. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended due to the rugged road system in the area.
Best time of the year to witness this is August through December when the rainy season is heaviest in that region. The Arribada occurs at the start of the last quarter moon during the months of August through December. One could notice hundreds of turtles gathering close to shore several days before they begin to rush upon the sandy shores to lay their eggs. They come out of the water all at once, onto the sandy beach, sometimes running over one another. They begin in the very late afternoon and continue coming all night, until day light. "Quite a sight to see"! There they dig into the sand and lay their eggs.

This is the province of Guanacaste, in the northwestern pacific coast of Costa Rica. Drive from Liberia International airport in northern Costa Rica around 1 hour and a half.

All of Nature Puts Humans in their Place, Because their Place is in Nature
[caption id="attachment_3716" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Waterfall along Blue River in Costa Rica"]
[/caption]
One half of the earth's forests have been lost in the last 300 years. Tree's have been cut to built houses. Whole forest have been cut to clear for pasture lands. And Costa Rica is no exception.
Although Costa Rica has placed 20% of its land surface under the protection of National Parks and Wildlife Reserves, still trees are being cut to clear the way for large tourism developments. Big hotels with hundreds of room. Especially in the NW Pacific Guanacaste province. This area has a lot of sunshine all year, more than any other area of Costa Rica. Therefore, sun worshipers flock here by the thousands especially December through March when the cold weather in North America is quiet unpleasant.
Tourists come to Costa Rica mostly to be with nature. The mountains, oceans, rivers, and abundant rain forest draw people here where they experience this tropical paradise.
What is it exactly that makes Costa Rica for appealing? First is the climate. Sunshine, sunshine, and more sunshine. If you want to be in a cool place go to the mountains and if you want a warm place then go to the beach. Everything is only a few hours by car and even faster by air. Costa Rica has two domestic air carriers which fly to all the popular tourist destinations.
Costa Rica has an abundance of water due to the heavy rainfall from May to December. Everywhere you see waterfalls. And so many shades of green.
Not all the world has an abundance of water and with 6 billion people on the earth with so many not conserving water, not using it wisely could lead to a water shortage in some parts of the world.
Do you believe that the human race's place is in nature? We would like to hear you comments here at costaricalearn.com

Let's Protect the Leatherback Turtle of Costa Rica
This article is by Cristian Barboza who was born in Costa Rica and is a reader of costaricalearn.com.
It would be a shame not only for us Ticos, but for all humanity to loose such a precious and majestic creature as the endangered Leatherback turtle, the largest sea turtle on earth.
[caption id="attachment_3711" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Largest Sea Turtle in the World, the endangered Leatherback"]
[/caption]
We as humans must respect our environment and protect it. If not we will loose part of our history and in the process loose part of ourselves.
We humans have the capability to protect all species and to make sure they are not killed off by ridiculous and old fashioned customs.
Let's unite our efforts and make sure we do all we can to preserve this beautiful planet and all the treasurers on it.
Thank you Christian for these wise words.
