Puerto Viejo San Jose Tortuguero

Overview

This is the perfect journey for you who is looking for beautiful, untouched rainforest and who wants to enjoy some of the best beaches in Costa Rica. Your trip starts in the capital of San Jose where you spend your first night. The second day your transportation to Tortuguero picks you up early in the morning to take you on roads with amazing scenery and massive banana plantations. Tortuguero means “Place of the turtle” in Spanish and is often referred to as “Little Amazonas” because of its immense diversity and nature and wildlife. While in this amazing place you will get to participate in three tours that will show you the great nature and hopefully you will get to see animals such as crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas, sloths, and many different beautiful species of birds. You will get to spend three nature filled days here before your journey continues on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica.

After your exciting stay in Tortuguero we will take you to the beautiful little beach town of Puerto Viejo and the luxurious hotel Le Cameleon. The hotel has a lot of different amenities and activities and you can fill your days at the hotel or visit one of the many amazing beaches in the area. The town itself offers many different restaurants and bars where you can enjoy domestic as well as international food. If you are interested you can book additional tours with us such as visiting indigenous tribes, visiting rainforest, waterfalls, surfing, canopy, and a lot more! You will be staying at beautiful Playa Cocles but we also recommend visits to the great beaches Punta Uva and Playa Manzanillo that are found south of your hotel.

When you have enjoyed your exciting and joyful days in the Caribbean it’s time to go to San Jose again. Our shared shuttle will take you to your hotel and you can spend your last day in the capital relaxing, visit the city downtown and do the last shopping. On your last day we’ll take you to the airport and make sure you are on time for your last leg. Have a lovely trip back and very welcome back to Costa Rica!
