The Caribbean shores of Costa Rica offer a unique flavor that sets it apart from the rest of the country. On the northeast coast of this spectacular region is the unforgettable Tortuguero National Park, where you can explore the remarkable canals and jungle that are home to a vast array of fascinating wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, parrots, manatees, fish, caimans, and alligators. The region is also one of the principal nesting grounds for the green sea turtle.

Midst this natural splendor sits the eco-friendly Pachira Lodge. Pachira is strategically located on 14 hectares (34 acres) of rich flora and fauna, five minutes from Tortuguero National Park, across the main canal facing the town of Tortuguero. Amenities include a swimming pool, bar and restaurant, featuring buffet-style dining. All 34 rooms offer two double beds, private bathrooms with hot water, ceiling fans, and bamboo furniture. Because of Tortuguero's remote location, most visitors to the region opt to purchase tour packages that include meals and transportation. Tours depart daily from San Jose. 

Pachira Lodge is one of the top family hotels in Tortuguero. While not luxurious, the lodge offers comfortable accommodations, a superb location and great pool with constant wildlife sightings. Food services are ranked among the top in the region, and the guides that will accompany you from day one are very friendly and knowledgeable. One night / two day stays are ideal for families or couples that only wish to get a quick taste of this Caribbean jungle experience. A two-night / three-day stay will allow you to explore the canals, hike the trails and visit the colorful town of Tortuguero.
