On now until October 15
What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into San Jose or Tortuquero for July 1 to October 15, 2026, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- No cameras or lights on the beach; the guides carry the only red torch.
- It rains most days; bring a real jacket and dry bags.
- Small planes fly San José to the Tortuguero airstrip in 35 minutes; otherwise it is a bus and boat via La Pavona.
