Tortuga Lodge continued
In 1962 the late Dr. Archie Carr began to study and tag the thousands of Atlantic green sea turtles that every year from June through October come to Tortuguero Beach to lay their eggs. The study has continued without fail ever since, under the auspices of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC). It is the longest running continuous study of its kind in the world, and it has had a profound effect on the community of Tortuguero. Many of our staff have worked for the CCC, as have their parents. Caring for nature is woven into the fibre of the community.
With over 80% of Tortuga Lodge's personnel from the Tortuguero area, the lodge is committed to playing an active role in the Tortuguero community and working closely with an exceptionally effective community development association that has made Tortuguero an innovative model for cooperation between private enterprise and local communities, obtaining substantial benefits for the town. Let us know, and we would be delighted to send you more information on what the association is up to and how you can help. (Click for information about Tortuguero Foundation).
Originally intended to protect a major nesting beach of the Atlantic Green Sea Turtle,
"Tortuga Lodge is a very special place; a hideaway at the northern end of the main canal. It is tucked into a quiet part of the jungle where alarm clocks are never needed."
