Tortuguero Beach

Mawamba is an oceanfront property, but please note that Tortuguero Beach is not suitable for swimming due to strong currents and tides. Swimming is not allowed in the sea. From the beach, you can walk to town, a short distance from Mawamba Lodge. There is also a pathway that parallels the beach.

Pool, lounge, and bar

The pool is next to the La Macarela Restaurant, the bar, and the lounge. The pool is an ideal spot to cool off after a day of adventures in the jungle. This entire area has Wi-Fi.

The pool area is open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The bar offers cocktails, wines, and liquors, as well as smoothies and coffee.

FLOATING PLATFORMS

Sitting atop the Tortuguero Lagoon, the platforms are a delicious place to enjoy the views of the river and the surrounding forest...or even a beautiful sunset.

Sustainability and biodigester

Conscious of our need to protect natural resources, we care that our operations have a low impact on the fragile ecosystem that surrounds us. We provide support to our local community, and we use a manual of good practices in our daily operations. One method is the biodigester that allows us to treat the lodge's sewage and, in return, obtain methane gas for cooking in our kitchens. Presently, approximately 30% of the gas we use comes from our biodigester. Join our program (5 Minute Beach Clean Up).
