Thousands of turtles arrived this monday at Ostional beach in Guanacaste.
Turtles nest at Ostional year round, but peak time is during rainy season. Over the course of a five-day “arribada” (arrival) nesting turtles will leave up to 10 million eggs on the beach.
The largest arribada thus far recorded in Ostional, took place in November 1995 when a calculated 500,000 females came ashore.
