Day 1
Fly to San Jose, the friendly, cosmopolitan capital of Costa Rica. Meet your tour manager and transfer to your hotel, then rest and relax after your journey.
Day 2
Very early this morning, we'll board the coach and head east, through the spectacular jungle landscapes of Braulio Carrillo National Park, towards the Caribbean. After an en-route stop for breakfast, you'll arrive at the pier in Cano Blanco or Pavona, and board a canal boat for the last part of the journey, to fiercely protected Tortuguero National Park the very edge of the Caribbean Sea.
You’ll spend two nights at Mawamba Lodge, in the heart of this exotic paradise, a ribbon of thick rainforest criss-crossed by canals and waterways, and home to an amazing diversity of bird and wildlife - turtles, monkeys and manatees, and some 375 species of bird. Settle in to your surroundings, which include colourful butterfly gardens, frog and iguana gardens, walking trails and a swimming pool.
