Mawamba Lodge

Mawamba Lodge is located at the beach in the midst of the Tortuguero National Park, on a sand bar between the Tortuguero Lagoon and the Caribbean Sea. The Tortuguero National Park is the most important green sea turtle nesting grounds in the Western Caribbean. Heavy annual rainfall make for an abundance of extremely rich flora and fauna in the park, which is made up of a unique system of natural and man-made canals used for transportation and exploration. Admire exceptional flora and fauna including orchids, birds, monkeys, crocodiles, toucans, etc. in their natural habitat. Marine turtles such as the Chelonia Midas (green turtle) emerge from the ocean to lay their eggs in the humid tropical forest from July through September.

Guest accommodations consist of 36 comfortable rooms with private bathrooms, hot water, ceiling fans and chairs for a pleasant, relaxing evening. Hotel facilities include two docks on the canals, swimming pool with Jacuzzi, two family-style restaurants with local and international cuisine (one specially designed for groups and incentives), BBQ, bar, souvenir shop, relaxing ranchos with hammocks, natural trails, beach access in walking distance, sand volleyball court, and and conference room where daily lectures on Tortuguero's natural history are presented. These comfortable accommodations in the heart of a tropical rain forest make Tortuguero your vacation spot.
