Laguna Lodge is located on a narrow strip of land, six hundred feet wide. Its spacious gardens enjoy the Caribbean Sea on one side and Tortuguero Lagoon on the other.

The lodge has fifteen acres, full of trees and exotic plants, while the gardens shelter a great number of birds and butterflies, which provide ample opportunity for birdwatching on your Costa Rica tour.

Tortuguero is the most important nesting site in the entire Western half of the Caribbean for the green sea turtle. A natural system of canals and navigable lagoons of great scenic beauty cross the park from southeast to northwest forming the habitat for seven species of river turtles, manatee or sea cow, reptiles, mammals such as howler and spider monkeys and a wide range of crustaceans plus some 30 freshwater species of fish.

Also, the lodge is home to a wide range of crustaceans and some 30 freshwater species of fish. Eleven habitats have been identified in the park with the crab wood, banak, Santa Maria, bully tree and dove wood are among the many types of trees.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
