After a hot Caribbean breakfast overlooking the Tortuguero Canal, it’s time to explore. Start the day with a guided boat tour through the quiet canals and rivers of Tortuguero National Park. The area is scarcely populated, and the lush rainforest ecosystem in its purest state. Glide beneath the forest canopy draped in orchids and bromeliads where monkeys, sloths, and hundreds of bird and reptile species live.

If possible, take a turtle nesting tour once the sun sets. Overnight at Tortuga Lodge & Gardens.
Take a scenic early morning flight from Tortuguero to the Osa Peninsula with a short layover in San José.

Every day at Lapa Rios is a discovery. Awaken to a rainforest symphony and drift off at night to the soft lullaby of tree frogs. Your bungalow in the treetops is cooled by ocean breezes and perfumed by jungle blossoms. When you are not immersed in the cool ocean or exploring a jungle waterfall in the forest, indulge in the Lodge’s award-winning farm-to-table cuisine brimming with tropical fruit and vegetables. Or tone your body and soul at the horizon yoga deck and melt under the seasoned hands of the expert spa and massage therapists. Overnight at Lapa Rios.
Rise to the dawn chorus of howler monkeys, toucans, and parrots. Enjoy a final Costa Rican breakfast and coffee on your private terrace overlooking the sparkling Pacific before departing Lapa Rios.
