Tortuguero Hotels - Reviews and Rates

I had no clue, whether I would be sharing the shuttle with other people, but I must admit I was still surprised, when it was a full sized modern bus with plenty of other people that picked me up. Apparently, Pachira Lodge sell these packages that include transportation to and from the hotel, and we were well around 35 people, when we finally had...

We leave early Tuesday morning to go on the arial tram through the rain forest near Tortuguerro. We are spending two nights in seclusion without Internet or phone contact (unless there is an emergency). I will take lots of photos and keep a journal while we are there. Once we hit Fortuna (central Costa Rica) on Thursday afternoon, I will get the...

Today we traveled to Tortuguero National Park on the northern Caribbean coast. Its impossible to drive here so once we arrived in Limon we hopped into a motorized canoe through the jigsaw of canals deep into the national park. With Willis our, guide/captain/host pointing out wildlife en route. The canals and surrounding banks were similar to how...

This morning's jungle kayak trip was anticlimactic compared to the stormy midnight jungle/turtle romp. However, it is amazing how the rainforest wakes up - especially the Howler Monkey.

Zoals de naam het zelf al zegt was onze volgende stap het schilpaddendorp, daar waar de schildpadden hun eieren komen leggen en waar zich ook een nationaal park bevind. We hadden geluk of liever gezegd we haddenhet verdiend van een schildpad te zien die haar eieren aan het leggen was, hier zijn echter geen fotos van want dat is niet toegestaan. ...

Lots of rain but we are in very pleaseant surroundings in the rainforest right on the Caribbean coast. It´s very different from the other Caribbean destinations we have seen as the sand here is volcanic and the sea very rough. We went on a walk through the nearby jungle, to start with we were´t very hopeful of seeing much more than mosquitos, of...
