Mawamba Lodge

Tortuguero

Mawamba Lodge enjoys a unique location between the Caribbean Sea and the Tortuguero Canals in the heart of the lush jungle of Tortuguero National Park – the journey here is an experience in itself.

The lodge strives to create an experience as close to nature as possible, so there is no TV, radio or air conditioning in the rooms. The 56 rustic rooms are built in traditional Caribbean style with dark wood that blends naturally into the green surroundings. The en suite bathrooms offer a hair dryer and toiletries. There is a ceiling fan and window nets that provide a natural breeze and allow you to listen to the sounds of the rainforest as you fall asleep.

In the lodge’s pool area, you can jump in the water or sit and relax in a sun lounger or hammock. If it’s more adventure you’re looking for, you can explore the green areas where you can spot various bird species and perhaps even monkeys.

During your stay in Tortuguero, your meals are included in the price and they are served as a buffet in the Mambo restaurant, which is located right by the swimming pool. For an additional fee, you can reserve a table at Katonga, the lodge’s floating restaurant, and enjoy your dinner in the middle of the rainforest as you slowly glide down Tortuguero’s canals (reservation required).

Close to the pool area is the Chelonia bar, where you can enjoy a refreshing drink, beer or soft drink. There is also a small coffee shop in reception, where they also have a small self-service library.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all common areas at the lodge.
