Reviews
The journey from San Jose and back was very long but that was due to a land slide on the main road but the bus was comfortable enough.
Most importantly in Tortuguero we saw loads of wildlife! The morning boat tour was a highlight- we saw crocodiles, caimans, monkeys, lizards and loads of birds. The guides were very knowledgeable.
We also went on the extra trip to see the sea turtles nesting on the beach - this was truly a once in a lifetime experience. We were initially put off by the price but it was definitely worth it.
The lodge itself (Pachira Lodge) was comfortable and basic and the food was fine for two nights.
Overall would definitely recommend was an amazing experience to see plenty of wildlife.
Zwischendurch gab es manchmal Verwirrung, weil man ständig Infos gesagt bekommt, wo man sich wann trifft etc., aber wenn man mal was nicht mitbekommen hat, ist immer jemand da, den man fragen kann. Wichtig: unbedingt merken, welche Übernachtung man gebucht hat, denn man wird dann in ein entsprechendes Boot gesetzt, das einen dort hinbringt.
Die Bootsfahrt zur Lodge war schon toll. Ich hatte in einer Rezension gelesen, dass es auf der Fahrt vor lauter Tiergeräuschen so laut sei, dass man nichts mehr versteht. Ich war ein bisschen enttäuscht, da es auf unserer Fahrt eher leise war. Kein Brüllaffe hat gebrüllt. Die haben wir aber später in der Lodge und auf den Touren gehört und gesehen. Außerdem eine Menge anderer Tiere (Jesus Christ Lizzard, Kaimane, Tukane, rote Fröschchen, Faultiere, Spider Monkeys,…)
Was die Touren betrifft, fand ich die Schildkröten-Tour die beste. Auch die Wanderung zu einem kleinen Berg ist empfehlenswert und der geführte Rundgang auf dem Gelände der Lodge. Die Guides sind absolut professionell und haben ein unheimlich großes Wissen über die tolle Natur der Gegend. Es sind Einheimische, die in der Region aufgewachsen sind, was alles sehr authentisch macht.
Ich könnte noch so viel mehr schwärmen von dieser tollen Tour. Absolut empfehlenswert!!!
