Tortuguero: All-inclusive Package 2 nights 3 days from San José

All-round carefree package: The journey itself is an adventure, you are always accompanied by guides who explain. Everything is very well organized. The accommodations vary, we stayed at Pachira Lodge and very satisfied! Nice large room with veranda surrounded by plants and much visited by animals. Delicious food, lots of wonderful activities on water and on land. Only the “Nature Walk” in the hotel’s own forest is not a real walk, rather a circular route, which you have run in 5 minutes on concrete trail. Tortuguero was a highlight of our trip, we would come back anytime, including at the Pachira Lodge.

Very expensive, little seen, similar number of tourist boats, as in the Everglades, only more tropical. Long drive, food went like this.

It was a well organized nice tour. Tortuguero was a remote place, not easy to get there by oneself. Thanks the tour company arranging everything. The national park was unique. We enjoyed very much riding the boat in the canal to tour the park. Our guide Fernando was enthusiastic about the environment and his work. He tried very hard to cope with the weather condition. The only down side was the lodge. I was not expecting anything luxury. But if there were a few more pieces of furniture like a table and chairs it would help a lot.
