About Evergreen Lodge

A collection of cabins ensconced by the incredible rainforests of Tortuguero.
On Costa Rica's Caribbean coast, Tortuguero National Park is a wild wonderland with pristine coral reefs and a menagerie of creatures amongst the foliage. Just on the edges of this surreal setting, the Evergreen Lodge sits in two hectares of lush gardens, criss-crossed by pretty trails and home to white-faced capuchins, howler monkeys and dozing sloths. Connected by scenic walkways, the rooms are all built from sustainable wood and most are stilted to leave the rainforest as untouched as possible. Before watching the sunset from the canal deck, venture into the national park or down to the shore where endangered sea turtles make their nests...

Property details

The property

One of the smallest lodges in the Tortuguero area, Evergreen is intimate and incredibly private. Spend your days in the gardens, spying all manner of birdlife on walks or canopy tours, or take a dip in the turtle-shaped pool for a restful afternoon. Meals are all served buffet-style with a good blend of Caribbean and international dishes and the lodge also has two bars: one right by the pool and the other overlooking the pretty canal. Their creative cocktails are definitely worth trying!

The rooms

Most of the lodge's 66 rooms are set in individual cabins, built on stilts and connected by a series of walkways. Featuring plenty of rich, dark wood and nature-inspired artwork, all boast high ceilings and spacious living areas. Each room opens onto its own private patio, where you can soak up the rainforest scents and sounds, including howler monkeys and lyrical toucans. Ceiling fans ward off the humidity and window screens keep out (most) insects without blocking the view.

Activities

Explore this corner of the park via a series of canals - and always have those binos ready to spot a toucan or spoonbill in flight, or a crocodile lurking beneath the surface. Forest explorations on foot are also on offer, and the guides will point out gigantic butterflies, the poison dart frogs that hide amongst the leaves, and chattering monkeys. Down by the sea, a range of sea turtles lay their eggs along the protected coast and, between July and October, you may be lucky enough to see green sea turtles nesting, or their hatchlings making a beeline for the sea.

Something to think about

Something to think about

Tortuguero can only be accessed by charter flight or boat, which adds to the sense of adventure, but does mean some extra costs.
