Pachira Lodge Tortuguero 3-Day Package
Spend two nights at Pachira Lodge with San José bus and boat transfers, meals, village, forest trail and canal tours.
A fuller Tortuguero lodge experience
Two nights at Pachira Lodge allow time for the village, forest and canals
beyond the arrival journey by shared bus and boat. The package includes the
listed meals, bilingual guide,
village and beach visit, private forest trail and a guided canal excursion.
Time for forest, canals and the village
Day one covers the journey, lodge arrival and Tortuguero village. Day two
adds a guided private-trail walk and afternoon boat tour through national-
park canals. Wildlife may include monkeys, sloths, reptiles and tropical
birds, but no sighting is guaranteed.
Full-board package with separate park fee
Meals include breakfast en route; two lodge breakfasts, lunches and dinners;
and lunch on the return journey. An en-route meal can become a snack or
light boxed meal. National-park admission and the Turtle Museum donation
are additional.
An optional regulated turtle nesting tour may operate July through October.
It costs extra and must be reserved subject to season, weather and capacity.
