Caribbean Coast Lowlands - Tortuguero Canal/Intercoastal Waterway

The inland, Intercoastal Waterway offers access to the northern Caribbean coast. Generally, travellers embark from the port of Moín and continue to Tortuguero National Park and beyond. By 1974, canals had been connected to existing natural waterways thus linking the entire system.

Today, it is no longer necessary to go offshore in order to travel north, a much safer alternative. Apart from being the most convenient way to travel in the region, riding the Intercoastal Waterway offers travellers another option for observing scenery and wildlife.
