Extend Your Stay
Add 3 nights in Tortuguero National Park for only $449 USD (Single room: add $125 USD)
A lush, tropical jungle accessed only by water, Tortuguero—which can be translated as Land of Turtles—is known for its abundance of wildlife. A journey here is a near-guarantee that you will spot monkeys, sloths, manatees, caimans, snakes, river otters, macaws and toucans, as well as dozens of other wildlife species—that is, if you know where to look. By venturing forth in small outboard boats or dugout canoes along Tortuguero's lagoons, our guides will make sure you don't miss a thing—so remember to bring plenty of film, batteries and something to keep your camera dry.
