Tortugal is an exciting part of any Rio Dulce experience with its spectacular peninsula location halfway between the bridge and 16th century Castillo San Felipe. This incredible location means being close to everything needed for convenience yet far enough away to be surrounded by nature. The best way to begin the day is to go for a swim in the refreshing, healing waters of the Rio Dulce to a floating platform where you can relax and enjoy the day's beginning. If you don't fall back to sleep gently rocking on the platform, swim back after awhile and help yourself to an early morning coffee or tea in the restaurant where you will find other travellers beginning their day. Your breakfast will be prepared as you wish and the best part is: breakfast is included with your stay! An early morning kayak trip to Castillo San Felipe de Lara could follow breakfast or maybe you are in the mood for a walk. Look for the elevated walkway which goes through a magical mangrove forest and small lagoon to a bridge over a freshwater creek. From there it is easy to walk through the spectacular hardwood plantation to the main road which leads (left) to San Felipe and (right) to Fronteras. In Fronteras, you can catch a minibus and spend the afternoon or tomorrow morning at Finca Paraiso's hot waterfalls and pool. Pack a lunch from Tortugal's kitchen to enjoy at Paraiso or at the white rocks in famous Boqueron Canyon. There is so much to do, I almost forgot to mention the most profund of all reasons to come to the river: The Great Canyon of the Rio Dulce. This spectacular canyon was the site chosen for the first Tarzan movie. A community boat leaves just about when you are finishing breakfast every morning and wends its way through the canyon, the waterlilly floating garden and the hot springs; eventually delivering you about an hour later to Livingston. Returning in the early afternoon from this adventure; go for another swim in the river and relax on the floating platform. You will have the best sleep of your life under all cotton fabrics in a room created by artesans. On your way to or from Tikal, Belize, Mexico or Honduras; Tortugal is an out of the ordinary experience, the place to stay.
