The city of turtles has never disappointed us. We always return there every year with great pleasure. Every year we always learn new things. The staff kept smiling despite the crowds! Except perhaps in catering where, too bad, the relationship remains to be reviewed……

Désolés si vous n'avez pas été correctement reçus au snack; le personnel est parfois sous tension quand les commandes sont très nombreuses.
Contents malgré tout que le reste de la visite se soit bien passé.

Small visit that was not planned... Pleasantly surprised, many species of turtles, in a wooded part of the park, then another part a little more tropical. We stayed there almost 2 hours. I highly recommend it for both young and old.

Amazing sanctuary for tortoises and turtles. Very well run - the animals all seemed very healthy in their natural setting. Great location on either side of a flowing river. Easy to get to from Ajaccio - 20 mins on the train to Carbucia, then a 15 - 20 min walk. Staff were very helpful and lots of information available about all their different species in multiple languages. Overall, a really enjoyable day out in a lovely environment.

Morning family visit with two children. The site is very well designed and laid out. There are a multitude of species of turtles: terrestrial or aquatic. The explanations are clear and the staff very friendly.
Bring mosquito repellent if you go early in the morning because we were devoured by mosquitoes around the pools.

Wonderful place, extremely interesting. Does NOT cater for ignorant English visitors. There is a lot of uneven ground and wooden steps and platforms so you need to be fairly mobile. I hope they soon arange an English guide book/information pamphlet. It was the best excursion of our holiday.

We went to visit this centre after we picked up a brochure for it at Cargese's tourism office (much better set than Ajaccio's, surprisingly).
The a cupulatta (turtles/tortoises in Corsican) park offers a wide diversity of turtles and some explanations (rather limited in English but very good and detailed explanations are to be found in French).
The cute tortoises in the nursery are sure to charm the kids but some signs remind you that having a tortoise is not just that easy (as you can also see from the the pad with "damaged" tortoises near the exit).
Note that you cannot pet or feed the turtles.
Definitely worth it if you like nature and understand some French.

This park is well worth a visit. So many species of turtles and tortoises, from the tiny cute ones to the giant Galapagos tortoises. The cats on staff are adorable too. 30 minutes by taxi, make sure to call for one ahead of time when you go back as they have to drive from Ajaccio.

This is a wonderful place located in Carbuccia which is not far from ajaccio. The entrance fee is somewhere around 17€. It houses tortoises from all over the world right from young ones to old ones. Nice to see a place entirely dedicated to them to preserve the species. Nice place to visit and definitely recommended. There are trains from Ajaccio to Carbuccia. Though not many but can refer the link train-corse com / les-horaires to check the timings. Train ticket costs only 2.5€ one way. The train station is on demand. So make sure to press « arret demande>> once mrezana station departs

we visited A Capulatta one afternoon not expecting much. I loved it, i could have stayed and watched he turtles all day. So many different species, a very interesting place to go.
All the literature is in French.
i thought it was defiantly worth the 10€, as it helps to look after the turtles.
you do have to be quite mobile to make the most of your time here.

Great trip. The park has ample parking and good and clean facilities. The turtles and turtoises are great, and so many! Very friendly staff. About 40 mins from Ajaccio. Me and my two sons loved it.

Hi, I’m going to be in Ajaccio for a day during a cruise holiday next week and would love to come here! What transport is available to get to A Cupulatta? (For example are there taxis/buses/trains and are they accessible and affordable). Thank you so much for your help :)

What transportation did you use? I'll be at cruise port and don't want to pay $90 for this excursion that also includes 2 hours at the beach (not interested in that) but REALLY want to see the sanctuary. If you used a taxi what's the cost? Got to be less than $90.

Bonjour,

Le parc est tout en extérieur! Et les tortues n'aiment pas la pluie quand il fait frais.
Mieux vaut du soleil.
