Hotel Ilan-ilan

Hotel ' Ilan Ilan ' gets its name from a tree, which is very exclusive in the area (Cananga odorata, Ylang Ylang ). Yellow flowers with a very pleasant scent characterize it.
The Hotel, which is located on the strip of land at about 5 Kms from the Tortuguero Village, 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, where you can find monkeys, smoky frogs ('frogs with blue jeans'), slots, many birds species and a great rain forest.
The Hotel was built in 1989 with the idea of providing the necessary facilities to the tourist exploring in an area of very limited access, yet without harming its natural richness, so the tourist has the chance to really appreciate a tropical rain forest.

Directions

Welcome to the most extraordinary jungle adventure, we hope that you will enjoy it with us!!! We start the adventure from the National Theater in San José 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 cross part of the Braulio Carrillo National Park. The park lies in one of the most rugged regions in the country. Almost the entire landscape is broken up by towering mountains heavily cloaked with thick cloudy forestry and by innumerable swollen rivers that cave deep canyons. After a technical stop at a coffee shop and a visit to a banana plantation, we will start the best part of the trip: traveling through the canals and rivers that take us to Tortuguero in specially designed boats.

During the 70 Km through the rivers and channels you will enjoy the diversity of flora and fauna in its natural habitat. Tortuguero National Park is located on the northern Caribbean plain of the Country. A navigable network of lakes and channels parallel to the coast crosses the Park with a great scenic beauty, home to a great number of species surrounded by an exhuberant tropical vegetation. Tortuguero is considered the most important nesting site on the western half of the Caribbean for the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) that comes to the beach to nest every year.

Tortuguero is one of the wilderness areas with the greatest biological variety. To date, 11 habitats have been identified in the Park and it is easy to observe this rich fauna where you are able to find several species of monkeys, slots, crocodiles, iguanas, parrots, macaws, toucans and much more.

Ilán – Ilán Hotel is located on a strip of land between the Tortuguero Lagoon and the Penitencia Channel that lead to Barra del Colorado.
