We just spent two nights at Miss Junie's Lodge last week. The accommodations were clean and air conditioning a welcome relief. Cloied, the son of Miss Junie, the first founding family in that area. He took us out on a few tours - night walk, kayak tour of the canals and a tour of the town. We really enjoyed learning about the animals, insects and plants of the rainforest and all about the town and it's history. Cloied has so much enthusiasm and knowledge as a guide. He did his tour for us in English and Spanish, since we are learning Spanish, and couldn't understand everything in Spanish. His sister, who runs the lodge led our turtle tour also had a lot of expertise and patience helping us get an opportunity to see a majestic 125 year old turtle laying her eggs up close. It was magical to observe that process. The pool at the lodge is also a huge plus. Clean, refreshing, big enough to actually swim and relax in. Tortuguero is a very interesting destination - not a resort, but a fascinating place to come and experience wildlife and see a small Caribbean community, especially if you are lucky enough to hang out with Cloied. If you can, kayaking into deep into the canals is a super cool way to check out the jungle.
