Una experiencia inolvidable en Tortuguero

Este tour todo incluido a Tortuguero fue, sin duda, uno de los momentos más memorables de mi viaje a Costa Rica. Desde la recogida puntual en mi hotel en San José, todo estuvo perfectamente organizado. El trayecto en autobús y luego en bote a través de los canales fue una aventura en sí misma, permitiéndome apreciar la belleza natural del país desde el inicio. El alojamiento en el lodge fue cómodo y acogedor, rodeado de la exuberante selva tropical. Las comidas incluidas eran deliciosas y ofrecían una variedad de platos locales que me permitieron conocer más sobre la gastronomía costarricense. Las actividades programadas fueron excepcionales. Los paseos en bote por los canales del Parque Nacional Tortuguero me brindaron la oportunidad de observar una increíble diversidad de vida silvestre, incluyendo monos, caimanes y una gran variedad de aves exóticas. Además, las caminatas guiadas por la selva fueron educativas y emocionantes. Viator Lo que realmente destacó fue la atención y profesionalismo de los guías. Su conocimiento profundo sobre la flora y fauna locales, así como su entusiasmo por compartirlo, enriquecieron enormemente la experiencia. Recomiendo encarecidamente este tour a cualquiera que desee sumergirse en la naturaleza y cultura de Costa Rica sin preocuparse por los detalles logísticos. Una experiencia verdaderamente enriquecedora y bien organizada.

A Comprehensive and Well-Organized Experience in Tortuguero

This 2-day, 1-night package in Tortuguero offers an excellent introduction to one of Costa Rica's most biodiverse regions. Logistics were well coordinated, from ground transportation to boat transfers. All staff were punctual and attentive, which is key on a tour of this type. The accommodations, although basic, were comfortable, clean, and very well located for enjoying nature. The included meals were adequate: traditional dishes, served on time, although with limited options for those with special diets. The highlights were the boat tours through the canals: the guide was very knowledgeable, provided clear explanations about the flora and fauna, and provided interesting sightings (caimans, monkeys, tropical birds). The walk through the town was also appreciated, adding cultural context to the visit. As a suggestion for improvement, including more flexible options in the itinerary (e.g., additional hikes or night tours) could further enhance the experience. In short, it's a very well-structured package for those looking to explore Tortuguero in a short amount of time, offering a good value. Highly recommended for travelers looking for nature, organization, and a complete experience.
