Your resort is set amidst 25 acres of flower-filled gardens, and even has its own butterfly farm.

Night 5 & 6: Pachira Lodge Tortuguero
Tortuguero, Costa Rica

There is a moment that most travelers on a Costa Rica adventure hope for... a single blue morpho dancing through the rainforest as you hike through a tropical wonderland... a sea turtle making its way to a sandy nest on a secluded beach not far from your lodge... a howler monkey scrambling through the trees... a glimpse of a colorful toucan as dawn breaks in the jungle... and at the Pachira Lodge near extraordinary Tortuguero National Park, moments like these can happen every day! Surrounded by a scenic network of canals, this rainforest lodge is everything you'd want in one of the most exotic regions in the world – comfortable guest rooms with bamboo furniture and ceiling fans that quietly chase away the heat of the day, comfortable beds that welcome weary explorers, private bathrooms with plenty of hot water, restaurants that serve up healthful buffet meals, a swimming pool, and jungle walks and boat rides that celebrate the natural wonders.
