Caribbean Costa Rica: 5-Day Tour with Tortuguero National Park and Puerto Viejo

Begin your journey on the lush Caribbean side of Costa Rica, where the adventure starts in the heart of Tortuguero National Park—often referred to as the country’s “little Amazon.” This remote and wildlife-rich region is only accessible by boat or small plane, adding to its secluded charm. Spend two nights in a local village, guided by a private nature expert who will help you explore the winding canals of the rainforest by boat. As you cruise through these serene waters, you’ll have the chance to spot howler monkeys, caimans, colorful toucans, green iguanas, and other fascinating wildlife. The experience offers an intimate connection with nature in one of Costa Rica’s most biodiverse regions.

From Tortuguero, continue south to the laid-back Caribbean coast and enjoy two nights in the vibrant beach town of Puerto Viejo. You'll visit Cahuita, a coastal village known for its relaxed Afro-Caribbean culture and its proximity to Cahuita National Park, home to coral reefs, lush jungle trails, and the white-sand beauty of Playa Blanca. This part of the trip blends nature and beach bliss, giving you the best of Costa Rica’s Caribbean side. The package includes five breakfasts, four lunches, and two dinners, with all transportation in air-conditioned comfort, guided excursions, and taxes fully covered—ensuring a smooth, enriching, and memorable tropical getaway.
