Mawamba Lodge is situated on the Northeast area of Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast on a sand bar between the Tortuguero Canals and the Caribbean Ocean, an excellent location that provides direct access to the pristine beach and the canals.

Fronting the sea is a seemingly endless expanse of beach. This area is considered to be one of the most important nesting sites for the green turtle and other species of sea turtles. The small, magical town of Tortuguero is only accessible by boat, or a short flight from San Jose.

Tortuguero is one of the most important turtle nesting sites on the western half of the Caribbean for the Green Sea Turtle. There is an active community here as well to help save the endangered species of turtles, where you can take tours and see the turtles nesting in the wild. It's quite an impressive sight.

Pachira Lodge is the newest lodge in Tortuguero, and involves a 34-acre property just minutes from Tortuguero National Park's main entrance. All of the comfortable rooms feature a private bathroom, hot water and ceiling fans. High quality, buffet-style meals are included.
