DAY 1: Early morning departure by coach (shared service with other passengers) towards the Caribbean coast, to Tortuguero National Park. Three hours by bus and then two hours by boat are needed to reach Tortuguero from San José. Costa Rican breakfast en route at the El Ceibo restaurant. After a drive through the spectacular rainforest of Braulio Carrillo National Park, arrival at the small dock for boarding a boat specially designed for canal navigation. A beautiful journey will take you to Pachira Lodge… just in time for a welcome cocktail and a delicious lunch, of course! In the afternoon, visit the small biological station dedicated to sea turtles (featuring the work of Archie Carr, a scientist and passionate advocate for sea turtles and founder of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation), the small village of Tortuguero (made up of a few small houses and shops, a school and a church) and the beach. The atmosphere is relaxed and strongly reminiscent of the Caribbean (swimming is not advised, as currents are strong in this area). Dinner included at the lodge. Night excursion from July to September (optional — not included in the package price): this unique experience lets you observe green sea turtles laying their eggs (with a guide).
DAY 2: Breakfast at the lodge. In the morning, guided walk through the lodge's gardens: discover the butterfly house, the “red-eyed frog garden”, the aquarium, and the 100% eco-friendly wastewater treatment and energy production system. Before lunch, free time to enjoy the pool, the jacuzzi or the property's trails. In the afternoon, boat ride on the canals of Tortuguero National Park. Tortuguero National Park is a superb network of navigable canals, one of the country's richest areas in terms of flora and fauna. Tortuguero is a wetland of major importance (a Ramsar-listed site). It is best known for sea turtle nesting (from July to late September). Numerous other animals can be seen there: crocodiles, sloths, grey herons, toucans, lizards, monkeys and frogs, among others. Dinner included at the lodge. Note: the order of excursions may be changed depending on weather conditions.
DAY 3: After breakfast, departure from the lodge and boat return to the small dock. Continuation by bus to Guápiles. Lunch at the El Ceibo restaurant. Important notes: excursions may be swapped depending on weather conditions. Alcoholic drinks, sodas and bottled mineral water are not included in the package. Regarding luggage, the maximum weight allowed is 12 kilos per person. It is best to wear dark clothing and closed shoes while observing turtle nesting, as turtles are very sensitive to light colours and may turn back to the ocean without laying.
