TROPICAL ZONE / CLIMATE

Tortuga is located within a micro climate, in a tropical zone with abundant plant and animal life. Temperatures average 77°F (25°C). This zone is greener and more lush than coastal areas further north on the Pacific which are drier and lack vegetation. This temperate zone also avoids the high temperature and humidity found further south.
