Tortuga Lodge Costa Rica Expeditions' first hotel, and with a recent remodeling now its newest hotel, Tortuga Lodge is situated on 50 private acres on Costa Rica's northern Caribbean Coast. Its 25 rooms have as much window area as walls, a good thing when you are set into the most colorful rain forest in Costa Rica. Tortuga Lodge's main reason for existence is to provide room and board for people interested in exploring Tortuguero National Park. Originally intended to protect a major nesting beach of the Atlantic green sea turtle, the park now protects 51,870 acres, one of the last large tracts of tropical rain forest in Central America. Caiman, iguanas, river turtles, Basilisk lizards and poison dart frogs inhabit the area, as do 320 species of birds.
All rooms are spacious with solar-heated hot water private baths.
The Monteverde Reserve protects an area of approximately 25,000 acres and six different life zones. So many habitats in such a small area along with extensive trail improvements allow visitors to enjoy a rich diversity of flora and fauna with relatively easy walking. More than 2,000 plant species, including a host of wild orchids, more than 400 species of birds and 100 species of mammals have been observed in Monteverde. The area's natural diversity provides an enchanting backdrop that adds to the magic of relaxing at Monteverde Lodge. Corcovado Lodge Tent Camp Rising from a grassy bluff above a perfect Pacific Ocean beach, Corcovado Lodge Tent Camp is the only lodge providing comfortable accommodations with close access to Costa Rica's legendary Corcovado National Park.
