Itinerary

Day 1 - Welcome to San José

Upon arrival in Costa Rica, we will be waiting for you at Juan Santamaria International Airport. Our chauffeur will transfer you to your hotel. Spend rest of the day at your own leisure. In the evening you may take a stroll and explore the neighborhood to feel the charm of the city.

Overnight stay in San José.

Day 2 - San José City – Tortuguero National Park

Early transfer to Tortuguero National Park located at the Caribbean. On the way enjoy the landscape of Braulio Carrillo National Park. Stop for breakfast en route at El Ceibo Restaurant in Guápiles and transfer to La Pavona river dock to board the boat for transfer to the lodge.

You will be greeted at the lodge with a welcome cocktail and enjoy your lunch. In the afternoon visit the small picturesque village of Tortuguero, including the Turtle Conservation Center. Tortuguero is considered the most important place in the western Caribbean for the Green Turtle nesting. The green turtle nesting is one of the most interesting natural phenomena. The process is considered the most critical period in the biological cycle of the turtle since the females have to go to the beaches in large quantities and during more or less fixed times. These concentrations and the difficulty of travel on the sand, make these species very vulnerable to man and other predators. That is the reason why the Tortuguero National Park is interested in the protection of these marine species. There is no doubt this is an experience that you should not miss when visiting the Tortuguero area during the months of July through October.

Overnight stay in Tortuguero.

Day 3 - Exploring Tortuguero National Park

Early in the morning, time to explore the local trails. Free time to use the hotel facilities (for example kayaks/ included in the package), or just relax in the swimming pool.
