read more closeNot for the spoiled tourist, this is where you go to blur the lines between your hotel room and nature. La Choza del Manglar, is the only hotel within the Puerto Jimenez mangrove forest and is a good central hub to explore the town from. Many people still find themselves spending hours within the property itself photographing wildlife in the gardens and mangroves.
Monkeys full of personality travel through the mangrove trees everyday from 5-7 a.m. and once again on their way back from 4-5:30 p.m. But it doesn’t stop there! Scarlet macaws, parrots, white egrets, crabs, frogs, and even crocodiles nearby provide plenty of wildlife variety for the animal lover. Hey, you wanted Costa Rica? You got it! All of these without breaking your bank!
