Tortuga Lodge is one of the pioneering eco-lodges in the Tortuguero region, established in the mid-20th century as the area gained recognition for its remarkable biodiversity. Located along the riverbanks, the lodge was designed to blend harmoniously with the surrounding rainforest, using local materials and sustainable practices. Its history is closely tied to sea turtle conservation, particularly the green turtle that nests on nearby beaches. Over the years, it has evolved by incorporating environmental education programs, guided excursions through canals and forest trails, and partnerships with scientific and community-based conservation initiatives, helping preserve the delicate ecosystem while offering visitors an immersive natural experience.

Tortuga Lodge
Located in the remote region of Tortuguero on Costa Rica's northern Caribbean coast, Tortuga Lodge is a renowned eco-lodge surrounded by rivers, canals, and dense rainforest. Built on approximately 50 acres of private land, it emerged as one of the earliest nature lodges in the area, reflecting the rise of ecotourism that reshaped Tortuguero during the mid-20th century. Its architecture is designed to blend with the environment, featuring Caribbean-style wooden buildings and direct river views. Over time, the lodge has been renovated and expanded while maintaining its intimate and sustainable character. It sits adjacent to Tortuguero National Park, an internationally recognized protected area known for sea turtle nesting and extraordinary biodiversity. Today, Tortuga Lodge embodies a balance of history, conservation, and comfort, offering visitors immersive access to one of Costa Rica's most pristine and biologically rich ecosystems.
Back to the Ocean
The baby sea turtle release tour in Tortuguero National Park is renowned for its ecological and educational quality. Led by trained guides, visitors witness hatchlings emerging and instinctively heading toward the ocean, a critical natural process that must remain undisturbed. These tours usually occur at dawn or nighttime under strict environmental guidelines . Tour quality depends on proper regulation, certified guides, and respect for wildlife. The region also offers canal boat tours, rainforest hikes, and wildlife observation within one of Costa Rica's most biodiverse ecosystems.
