Evergreen Lodge

Evergreen Lodge, in the north-eastern corner of Tortuguero

Evergreen Lodge sits in the north-eastern corner of Tortuguero, about 5 minutes by boat from the entrance to the national park, among tall trees and thick jungle. It is a classic Tortuguero lodge, easy and sociable, and it suits families, couples and first-time visitors who want the canals at the centre of the trip.

Why we choose it

• Close to the park entrance. At about 5 minutes by boat, you are among the first on the canals in the morning, when the wildlife is busiest.
• Rooms in the trees. The rooms are spread through the forest, so monkeys and birds are around the walkways all day.
• A pool and a spa for the afternoons. After an early tour, the afternoon belongs to the pool or a massage.

Rooms and views

The rooms are spacious and jungle-inspired, with wood furniture and comfortable beds, set among the trees rather than in one block. Expect a ceiling fan, a private bathroom and the sound of the rainforest instead of a television. Ask us for the room type that fits your group and we will confirm it with the lodge.

On the property

Meals are served buffet style in the dining room, which has high ceilings and views into the rainforest. The bar is lively in the evening, when guests swap stories from the day's tours. The pool is the place to cool off, and the spa offers massages and treatments. The lodge has its own bilingual guides, who know the canals well.

Location and getting there

Tortuguero is reached by plane, or by a land and river transfer that ends with a boat ride through the canals, which most guests remember as the start of the adventure. We arrange it door to door. From the lodge we book guided boat and canoe tours of the park, early morning birding, and turtle nesting walks on the beach in season. It is one of our team's favourites near Tortuguero National Park.
