Location and Accommodation
The project is almost 3 hours travelling time away from San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica and is located on the Caribbean coast approx. 1km north of where the River Pacuare enters the Caribbean sea. The project is situated at a beautiful isolated beach and right behind the project begins, what people call, The Amazon of Costa Rica, a mangrove rainforest, rivers, canals and lagoons. They form a unique area to live in and one can only get there by motorboat. Animals that you will certainly see are: monkeys, fish, crocodiles, 145 species of birds, iguanas, turtles and our dogs! You may also see dolphins, sloth’s, foxes and wild cats.
You will stay in a dormitory style beach cabin that sleeps up to 6 people. On your arrival date you take the 9am bus from the "Los Caribeños" bus station to Matina/Bataan. At the bus stop in the centre of Bataan you will be met off the bus. After your bus ride it takes 30 more minutes by taxi through banana plantations and 35 minutes along the canals by boat. (the boat trip offers opportunities to see monkeys, tropical birds and small freshwater turtles) to arrive at La Tortuga Feliz.
