I have visited many rainforest environments, but saw so much wildlife in a 3-hour boat ride from Tortuguero that this lodge went right to the top of my list. There were loads of howler monkeys, spider monkeys, turtles, otters and legions of tropical birds.

What you say
Tortuga Lodge was the highlight of the trip - a really fantastic place to stay: great service but with a really relaxed informal atmosphere. It was a really special place and a fabulous welcome. The turtle watching was a fantastic experience. It was also great to have the opportunity to join in with the English language classes with some of the local kids which really made us feel party of the place rather than just tourists.

- Extending your stay for a bit of adventure close to San José - peer into the crater of Póas volcano, and raft the white water of the Reventazón river - suitable for beginners and experts alike. These excursions can be arranged locally for day 2 of the holiday. Horse-riding, biking and gentle hiking, guided by local experts, are available all over Costa Rica and can be built in to your itinerary with ease.
- Heading for the beach (bear in mind it can rain in July and August) - broad sands and breaking rollers on the Pacific coast provide radical conditions for surfers. Excellent hotels and resorts are available offering pools and water-sports.
