<h2>Escape to the Rainforest at Mawamba Lodge</h2>Located on a strip of land between the Caribbean Sea and the canals of the Tortuguero National Park, Mawamba Lodge is a beachfront <a href="https://www.vacationscostarica.com/stay/best-eco-unique-places/">eco-lodge</a> located in the heart of the park. This also means it’s accessible only by boat or plane, so getting here is an adventure in itself. This rustic retreat, surrounded by lush vegetation, provides a comfortable yet upscale rainforest experience for nature-loving families, couples, single travelers, and groups.With 54 rooms, Mawamba Lodge features a range of comfortable bungalows tailored to different needs and budgets, all equipped with private terraces and ceiling fans. Some bungalows offer ocean views, while others are surrounded by the adjoining rainforest. The accommodations are furnished to be cozy while boasting only the essentials, and they include mosquito nets and hammocks for nighttime relaxation.<h2>Unwinding in the Pool &amp; Exploring Nature</h2>Other amenities at Mawamba Lodge include a refreshing outdoor pool, located next to the main restaurant. This entire pool area has WiFi and is a perfect place to relax when not exploring Tortuguero. And speaking of exploring, activities here include the famous nature boat trips through the rainforest canals, wildlife watching, guided hikes, kayaking, canoes, <a href="https://www.vacationscostarica.com/things-to-do/sea-turtle-nesting/">turtle-nesting excursions</a>, and more.With a privileged location, Mawamba is tucked in a narrow stretch of land, with a natural canal on one end and the beach on the other. It’s easy to walk to either end, but while visiting the beach, it’s best not to swim in the Caribbean Sea. Swimming here is not recommended due to strong currents.<h2>Top Costa Rican Cuisine &amp; Commitment to Sustainability</h2>The lodge's La Mararela Restaurant serves a delicious a la carte menu of Costa Rican cuisine made with fresh, local ingredients. There is also a bar at the pool serving light lunches and drinks. And there is always Katonga: a floating restaurant that navigates the local rainforest canals while you eat. It’s truly an experience! Admire all the unique views of Tortuguero while enjoying a hearty meal.Mawamba Lodge is committed to environmental sustainability, employing a biodigester to treat sewage and produce methane gas for cooking. Some 30% of the lodge's gas usage is derived from this eco-friendly system. The lodge also goes a step further by supporting local communities and encouraging guests to participate in their "5 Minute Beach Clean Up" program.If you're interested in visiting Tortuguero, one of Costa Rica's most pristine and remote rainforest wilderness areas, <a href="https://www.vacationscostarica.com/contact-us/">contact our expert travel advisers</a>.

We traveled to three locations over 9 days. Our trip exceeded expectations and was so simple with the help of Costa Rican Vacations. We highly recommend Luke Angus to coordinate your travel.

What a seamless experience! I've never used a travel agency to plan my whole vacation, so this was a joy. It was so nice not to worry about any of the arrangements. All of the tours that Daniel chose for us were perfect.&nbsp;
