Tortuga Lodge and Gardens
- Set off on an early-morning walk through the lodge’s extensive gardens, with an expert wildlife and nature guide. These gardens are grand and sprawling, mimicking the traditional banana plantations that littered the Caribbean coast.
- If you are here in July, August or September, you will be able to spot turtles nesting. The best time to see hatching is in October.
- Glide down the hidden channels, surrounded by deep, thick forest, in a canal boat or kayak. You may spot river turtles, an otter or even a manatee. Look out for the 6 different species of Kingfisher.
- Venture over to Tortuguero Village to engage in local culture and history. Follow this with a hike up Cerro Tortuguero for a bird’s eye view of this tropical paradise.
- An unforgettable experience is to take a trip up the Caño Palma channel to Laguna 4 to spend the day with a local farming family. You will have food cooked using a traditional wood stove.
