Day 3: Tortuguero (full board Mawamba Lodge) F&D


Breakfast at lodge in Tortuguero

Walking Tour Tortugero F&D

Tortuguero is a great destination for ecotourism lovers. During this day and depending on the weather conditions, you can enjoy a guided hike through the jungle where you will learn how the different animals. Insects and birds interact with forest plants, thus achieving a perfect balance of each species, or you can explore the secondary canals of this paradisiacal place, where you can see different species of mammals, birds and reptiles. Tortuguero offers a full contact with Mother Nature. Much of the National Park extends along its unspoiled beaches that serve as refuge for spawning of the sea turtles, this event occurs between the months of July to September.

Mawamba Lodge

The Mawamba Lodge is a Tropical Hotel in the heart of the rainforest. It is a very special hotel that is located in the canals of the Toruguero National Park in the Caribbean Sea. It is only accessible by boat or plane. It has spacious and comfortable rooms, as well as an outdoor pool and a restaurant that serves typical Costa Rican dishes as well as international cuisine.

Mawamba Lodge is a hotel that cares about the environment. Aware of our need to protect natural resources, the hotel is concerned that its operations have a low impact on the fragile ecosystem that surrounds it. It provides support to the community where it is located, and uses a manual of good eco-friendly practices in its daily operations, part of which is done through a bio-digester that allows the hotel to treat the sewage from the Lodge and obtain methane gas in return. The gas is used to heat the kitchens.

Detail

This 11 nights’ tour package has been designed for those who want to discover some of the hidden treasures of Costa Rica: exuberant nature and the contrasts between landscapes and exotic beaches.

The adventure begins in one of the best natural destinations of Costa Rica, where you can appreciate biodiversity closely, at the Tortuguero rainforest. This area has remained untouched by man and it is one principal America’s turtle nesting spots.

Then, you will continue to Naranjo in your own 4x4, which sits in the Central Volcanic Mountain Range. This area acts as a biological corridor and it is an excellent spot for bird watching.

You will continue exploring the country towards to the northern lowlands where you will find two natural attractions: The Arenal Volcano and its impressive conic shape and the Celeste River with its magical waterfall (must-see places).

Finally, you will visit the beach area in the Costa Rican pacific that mixes lovely white sand beaches with jungle and rain forest full of wildlife.
