What did we do today?
- Early morning walk at La Selva
- Drive to La Pavona to park the car and take the ferry to Tortuguero
Accommodation: Cabinas Tortuguero
Meals: breakfast at La Selva dinner at the Budda Cafe in Tortuguero
After an early morning walk at La Selva we packed up the car for the 1.5 hour drive to La Pavona where we parked the car and boarded the boat to Tortuguero.
Parking at La Pavona was $10 per day and appears to be a secure spot, but I would not leave anything in the vehicle. There is a restaurant at La Pavona with wifi on site, and for 500 colones you can use their bathrooms.
The hour-long ferry ride takes you down the river to Tortuguero and we saw caiman, toucans and iguanas along the way.
Reviews
Cabinas Tortuguero: We booked the El Manati and El Tucan riverfront rooms and were not disappointed. The rooms were clean, spacious, had AC, comfortable beds, refrigerators and we had access to a shared kitchen. The best part, however, was the large private verandah overlooking the river.
Budda Cafe - We ate at the Budda Cafe every night for dinner. Situated on the riverfront, the views are spectacular, the food tasty and plentiful, but the service was incredibly slow.
