## Description

Boats, not trucks, supply Tortuguero: the run from the Moín docks near Limón through the coastal canals takes about three and a half hours, and the Limón/Moín complex is the main sea-freight gateway on Costa Rica's Caribbean side. Against that background Aerotortuguero, the strip near Roxana, carries only light propeller charters and feeder flights for visitors to Tortuguero National Park, an area with almost no road access. It has no freight terminal, no customs post and no handling agent. Air cargo for the region — imports, exports and clearance — moves through Juan Santamaría International (SJO) at San José, with Daniel Oduber (LIR) in Guanacaste as the second option for the north-west. For freight planning purposes, treat the field as a passenger and ecotourism airstrip rather than a cargo point.
