Ecotourism
Ecotourism in Costa Rica has achieved the highest level of success. It has provided the income to help preserve protected areas as well as benefit local populations, by reducing their dependence on activities possibly harmful to natural habitats. We offer several extensions to the Tortuguero and Manuel Antonio National Park and the Monteverde area.
Tortuguero National Park

Tortuguero is one of the wilderness areas with the greatest biological variety in the country. Monkeys, anurans, birds and fish are especially numerous. Tortuguero (which means Turtle in Spanish) is the most important nesting site in the western half of the Caribbean for the endangered green turtle. Program includes two nights at the Pachira Lodge or Mawamba Lodge, located close to the Tortuguero National Park, and near the town of Tortuguero. Surrounded by a network of very scenic canals, this is considered one of the most exotic regions of the world, characterized by its richness in flora and fauna.
