Tortuguero Lodge

What a fantastic place!

The Tortuguero Lodge is located right on the banks of the Tortuguero Canal and right on the cusp of the wonderful lowland jungles.

We saw all manners of animals on the lodge property including aracari, basilisks, poison dart frogs, vine snakes. Even crocodiles are known to lumber ashore for a nap.

The lodge serves three meals as part of the standard fare and it has a nice bar, a verandah overlooking the water, a hamock room and this gorgeous swimming pool.

Unique Qualities: No glass on the windows--it is all open air. The howler monkeys will wake you up at 5:30 a.m.
