Itinerary

Day 1

The journey begins early with hotel pickups between 6:00 am and 7:00 am. The ride will take you to Limon and cross the beautiful Braulio Carrillo National Park.

Around 8:00 am, you will have a typical Costan Rican breakfast at a restaurant known for its butterfly garden, which is surrounded by tropical flowers and plants.

The trip continues to the port, where you can see banana plantations feeding the docks with large shipments bound for international destinations.

Around 11:00 am, a boat will take you through the canals of the La Suerte (Luck) river, arriving at the Laguna Lodge Hotel around 12:30 pm or 13:00 pm. Here, you will have a chance to enjoy a refreshing welcome cocktail, while your bilingual naturalist guide provides all of the information you need to know about your tropical lodge, including where to access the frog garden, the botanical garden, the pool, and how to walk to the beach. Between June and October, you may also get a chance to see green turtles spawning on the beach! The first tour begins in the afternoon, in the town of Tortuguero. Note that in all of Tortugeuro, there are no roads, so you must explore by foot or by boat!

Day 2

The second day begins at 5:30 am with the Nature Awakening Tour, where you will get a chance to see various kinds of wildlife make its first moves at dawn into the canals. This tour incurs an additional cost. Breakfast awaits you back at the hotel.

After breakfast, you return to San Jose by boat, where the transport awaits you at the dock. You will have lunch at the same restaurant where you had breakfast on the first day, and then return to your hotel in San Jose around 15:00 pm – 15:30 pm.
