Pachira Lodge - Tortuguero

Eco-lodge on the canals of Tortuguero National Park

Activities and Wildlife

Pachira Lodge offers guided eco-tours with bilingual naturalists to explore local biodiversity in Tortuguero National Park. A private nature trail on the 14 hectare estate allows guests to spot sloths, howler monkeys, and armadillos on their own. From July to September, nightly turtle nesting tours let visitors watch green turtles lay eggs on the beach.

Wellness and Relaxation

Wellness offerings include spa services and yoga sessions held in open-air areas surrounded by rainforest. The outdoor swimming pool with a shallow end and sun loungers provides a place to cool off after excursions. A spa lounge and relaxation area, plus a hot tub, round out the relaxation options.

Accommodations

Pachira Lodge Tortuguero has 88 comfortable guest rooms, each with hot water and ceiling fans (no air conditioning). Rooms are set in lodges spread across the property, with screened windows that let in jungle sounds. Family-friendly accommodations include special consideration for accessibility, with smooth paved paths connecting all buildings.

Dining

The restaurant serves buffet-style meals featuring organic ingredients sourced locally, with special diet menus available upon request. Guests can order wine or champagne from the bar, and fresh fruits are offered at every meal. The dining area overlooks the main canal and the pool, with seating arranged for tour groups.

Eco-Friendly Highlights

The hotel uses ocean plastic in its personal care products, turning waste into shampoo and soap bottles. Pachira Lodge Tortuguero Costa Rica sits on a 14 hectare estate across from the main canal, offering direct access to the neighboring town of Tortuguero. A 5-minute boat trip from the hotel reaches the entrance of Tortuguero National Park.
