Tortugero Costa Rica
Tortugero, Costa Rica
In this Tortuguero Costa Rica Video, I will show you my overnight Tortuguero National Park trip where I stayed in a jungle lodge in Costa Rica. This video will help you plan your trip to Costa Rica, and provide inspiration for your trip to Tortuguero National Park in Costa Rica!
I booked with Jungle Tom Safaris and was happy with the company. I booked the economy package in a double room at Monkeys Lodge but was the only one in there. We took daily tours of the Tortugero canals to look for wildlife as well as a night sea turtle tour.
I’ll be posting a lot more videos around Costa Rica and giving more tips and advice for travelers and female solo travelers in Costa Rica! One of the topics I will cover is traveling Costa Rica for female solo travelers. Hope you can visit Tortugero National Park & Costa Rica soon!
Some of my upcoming Costa Rica trip vlogs on Costa Rica will include Costa Rica day tips, where to go in Costa Rica, and Costa Rica as a female solo traveler. Subscribe to my youtube channel to follow along!

Rural Tourism (COSTA RICA): Part 2
Welcome to Costa Rica, Part 2!

We also just had a rad time... this is one place that has beauty beyond words... watch for yourself!

Costa Rica Adventure Vacation's Tortuga Lodge
Tortuga Lodge, situated on 50 acres of private land on Costa Rica's northeast Caribbean coast, was our first hotel. It is now our newest hotel. Everything we have learned about designing nature lodges over the last 11 years has gone into the remodeling of Tortuga Lodge. What we learned can be summarized in three words: Reflect the place. The Lodge has 26 deluxe rooms and one penthouse.
The essence of Tortuguero is slow-moving tropical rivers. Everything about Tortuguero is defined by the rivers. They are Tortuguero's roads and Tortuguero's soul. If a visitor wants to bring home the essence of Tortuguero he/she must get in tune with the rivers. FIND OUT MORE: costaricaadventurevacation.com
Costa Rica | Pura Vida
Blessed with beaches and biodiversity, Costa Rica is a verdant land of misty volcanoes, roaring rivers, and lush jungles teeming with exotic fauna. Throw in the friendly, educated Ticos (as Costa Ricans are known) and you can see why down here they call it Pura Vida — pure life.
G Adventures has defined (and redefined) small group travel for 25 years. Travelling with us is the very best way to get up-close and personal with your planet in a way you’d never manage on your own:

COSTA RICA EXPEDITIONS' Tortuga Lodge
Tortuga Lodge, situated on 146 acres of private land on Costa Rica's northeast Caribbean coast, was our first hotel. It is now our newest hotel. Everything we have learned about designing nature lodges over the last 11 years has gone into the remodeling of Tortuga Lodge. What we learned can be summarized in three words: Reflect the place. The Lodge has 26 deluxe rooms and one penthouse.
The essence of Tortuguero is slow-moving tropical rivers. Everything about Tortuguero is defined by the rivers. They are Tortuguero's roads and Tortuguero's soul. If a visitor wants to bring home the essence of Tortuguero he/she must get in tune with the rivers.
The Lodge's restaurant starts at the river dock and reluctantly moves inland. Delectable meals are created by our chef, Valentin, who specializes in local and international dishes. Designed to blend into the river environment, the pool features an environmentally-friendly purification system that uses an undetectable amount of salt instead of commercial chlorine. The water does not irritate the eyes.
The all-pervasive presence of the water blurs distinctions. As your boat moves slowly through the forest, you are immersed in a world where the forest merges with the rivers and the water becomes part of the tree. Land and water, indoors and outdoors lose part of their meaning. The first ten rooms built at Tortuga Lodge were dark and enclosed. Now whatever was useful from those rooms has been recycled into the community, and all rooms at Tortuga Lodge have almost as much window area as walls.
During the season (July through October) the highlight of your trip to Tortuguero is actually standing a few feet from a 300-pound Green Sea Turtle while she lays 80-100 eggs, covers up her nest, perhaps digs a false nest to throw off predators, and, finally, after more than an hour, returns to the sea.
Tortuguero is conservation. In 1962 the late Dr. Archie Carr began to study and tag the thousands of Atlantic green sea turtles that every year from June through October come to Tortuguero Beach to lay their eggs. The study has continued without fail ever since, under the auspices of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC). It is the longest running continuous study of its kind in the world, and it has had a profound effect on the community of Tortuguero. Many of our staff have worked for the CCC, as have their parents. Caring for nature is woven into the fiber of the community.
With over 80% of Tortuga Lodge's personnel from the Tortuguero area, we are committed to playing an active role in the Tortuguero community and working closely with an exceptionally effective community development association that has made Tortuguero an innovative model for cooperation between private enterprise and local communities, obtaining substantial benefits for the town. Let us know, and we would be delighted to send you more information on what the association is up to and how you can help.
Tortuga Lodge has implemented an energy conservation program that saves an average of 50% of the overall electrical energy consumption.* The Lodge has a unique swimming pool that mirrors the river beside it and which uses a small amount of salt instead of polluting chlorine.
Originally intended to protect a major nesting beach of the Atlantic Green Sea Turtle, Tortuguero National Park now protects 51,870 acres, one of the last large areas of tropical rain forest in Central America. Eleven habitats are found in the park. Three species of monkeys (Spider, Howler, and White-faced), Three-toed Sloths, and river otters are frequently seen along the natural inland waterways and canals. Caiman, iguanas, river turtles, Basilisk Lizards, and Poison Dart Frogs (Dendrobates) inhabit the area, along with more than 320 species of birds including all six species of kingfishers found in the new world, 3 species of toucans, 8 species of parrots, and other neotropical species such as the Slaty-tailed Trogon, White-collared Manakin, Purple-throated Fruitcrow, and White-fronted Nunbird.

Monteverde, Costa Rica
These days, the word “magical” is often overused when defining a place or an ambiance, however, Costa Rica’s Monteverde (meaning ‘green mountain’ in Spanish) truly lives up to this description in every way. Although the main roads are partially unpaved and bumpy, Monteverde is well worth the adventure. Monteverde sits on top of the continental divide high on the Tilarán Mountains, in the Puntarenas province in north-western Costa Rica, about a three-and-a-half hour drive from either San Jose or Liberia.

Beware of the wild smiling beauty by Tachiz Travel Costa Rica
Costa Rica is not an island but continental land. We have many volcanoes in Costa Rica and beautiful black sanded and white sanded warm beaches standing next to each other for your enjoyment. Many beaches are preffered nesting grounds for giant sea turtles. Other beaches are not recommended for swimming, yet all of them are the realm where many love stories have been and will continue to be written. In addition to the Pacific coast, we enjoy the caribbean coast which is devided into the North and the South Caribbean for they are very different form eachother. It is very possible that our entire Caribbean Coast does not look like what you have in mind when you think of the Caribbean. Please talk to us at regarding which of the almost 500 beaches are more suitable for you and how they fit into the nuts and bolts of your Adventure of a lifetime in Costa Rica and at the right price for you. At Tachiz Travel Costa Rica we think that, for the time being, what our enchanting south Caribbean needs, is more visitors, discerning vistors that is, for it is not for everybody. This particular video is on our South Caribbean Coast.
We've been there and we're here to help you!
Tortuguero National Park (Part 2).mov
Tortuguero National Park is located on the Atlantic Ocean side of Costa Rica. It holds a wild life reserve and a Green turtle Research Station in efforts to protect the turtles. You can appreciate the Atlantic turtle nesting beaches and the canals lined by palms, the habitat of various species of monkeys, green iguanas and tropical birds.
Tortuguero is the Spanish word for the place of the Turtles.
