Ostional Mixed Wildlife Refuge in Costa Rica is a protected area renowned for its significant role in the conservation of Olive Ridley sea turtles. Located on the Pacific coast in the Guanacaste Province, this refuge is one of the world's most important nesting sites for these turtles. Every year, particularly between July and December, thousands of turtles come ashore in a natural phenomenon known as "arribada" to lay their eggs. The refuge spans both terrestrial and marine environments, providing a sanctuary not only for sea turtles but also for a variety of other wildlife.
