You will enjoy with us, a real jungle adventure !!  
We start our adventure from San Jose at the National Theater, built in 1897 and considered to be one of the most beautiful theaters in Latin America. On our way out of the Central Valley, we pass through the Braulio Carrillo National Park. Its landscape is made entirely of high mountains covered by thick forest and deep, fast flowing rivers forming deep canyons.
After a technical stop at the cafeteria and a visit to the banana plantation, we'll start the best part of the trip: we will depart to TORTUGUERO aboard small tourist boats specifically designed to travel through the canals.

Tortuguero has one of the heaviest rainfalls in the country (between 5000 to 6000 mm a year) and it is one of the wilderness areas with the greatest biological diversity. Today, 11 habitats have been identified in the park, alone. The fauna is also rich and abundant, and easy to find: monkeys, sloths, crocodiles, gar fish, manati, iguanas, turtles (river and sea turtles), parrots, toucans, Blue-jeans Frog or Strawberry Poison-dart Frog Dendrobates pumilio, Spanish name: Rana roja or spijkerbroek kikker  exotic flovers like aristolochia and ilan and much more...  

Hotel ilan ilan  gets its name from a tree, which is very exclusive in the area (Cananga odorata). It is characterised by yellow flowers with a very pleasant scent.
The hotel is located a short distance from Tortuguero National Park, between the Tortuguero Lagoon and the Penitencia Canal, which leads to Barra de Colorado, has an area of 8 hectares, seven of which belong to the Natural Reserve created by the hotel, inhabited by monkeys, frogs smoke ("frogs with blue jeans"), sloths, many species of birds in a beautiful tropical rainforest.

The hotel was built in 1989 with the idea of providing the necessary facilities to the tourist exploring an area of limited access, yet without harming its natural richnes, so the tourist has the chance to really appreciate a real tropical rain forest.

Our main goal is the conservation of the region's wildlife. Most of the hotel area is dedicated to this purpose and a large array of endemic trees have been planted in the special activity, Let's plant a tree for Costa Rica
as well as orchids and other plants. The best way to understand the world in which we live in is to understand nature and how to live alongside it.In fact, the future of our planet depends upon it.
