Aninga Lodge

Aninga Lodge, on the main canal facing Tortuguero village

Aninga Lodge sits across the main canal from Tortuguero village, about 5 minutes from Tortuguero National Park, with the jungle all around. It suits families and couples who want an easy, comfortable base for the canals, with a pool to come back to after the early boat tours.

Why we choose it

• Close to the park. About 5 minutes from Tortuguero National Park, so the dawn boat tour starts almost at your door.
• A pool for the whole family. The outdoor pool has a jacuzzi and a children's pool area, a real plus in the humid afternoons.
• Built to touch the forest lightly. Much of the lodge stands on stilts above the forest floor, so the jungle keeps growing right up to the walkways.

Rooms and views

The rooms are simple and comfortable jungle rooms, set among the trees on the lodge grounds. This is a place where the view out of the window is green, the soundtrack is birds and rain, and you spend most of your waking hours outside on the water.

The entrance, the pool and the restaurant are accessible, and service animals are welcome.

On the property

There is a restaurant and bar for meals between tours, a spa for a massage after a long day in the boat, the pool with its jacuzzi and children's area, and Wi-Fi. Check-in is from 1:00 pm and check-out at 9:00 am, which fits the usual rhythm of Tortuguero, where most guests arrive by boat around lunchtime and leave early.

Location and getting there

Tortuguero has no road in: you come by boat through the canals, and we arrange the transfer and the boat as one trip. The lodge faces the village across the main canal and is about 5 minutes from the national park. From here we book guided canoe and boat tours through the park, birding tours and, in season, turtle nesting walks on the beach. Read more about Tortuguero National Park.
