What makes the night special
The luxury tents at Tocu sit within the Caño Negro wetlands, surrounded by forest on all sides. From your terrace, you'll look out over a lagoon where birdlife is never far away. After dark, the sounds of the forest take over and you fall asleep to them. By morning, birdsong replaces it, and the camp feels like somewhere you've known for days. With two nights here, there's plenty of time to slow down and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
You arrive at Tocu Tent Camp in the Caño Negro wetlands and settle into your luxury tent. Transfers are not included, but the camp is best reached from La Fortuna, Río Celeste, Liberia airport or the Northern Guanacaste beaches. Once here, you can walk the paths around the property or sit on the terrace watching the lagoon. In the afternoon, you'll join a sustainability talk at the lodge, learning about local conservation initiatives and responsible tourism in one of Costa Rica's most important ecosystems. As night falls, dinner is served à la carte with local ingredients.
Your morning starts with a hands-on conservation activity as you plant your own tree. Guided by your hosts, you'll learn how reforestation helps protect the wetlands that surround the camp, while making your own contribution to this unique ecosystem. In the afternoon, you can explore Caño Negro from a different perspective with a choice of experiences, including a natural history walk, a birdwatching tour, an eco-cruise along the Río Frío or a Costa Rican cooking class. Each one takes you deeper into a different side of Caño Negro. Dinner at the camp rounds off the day.
After breakfast at the camp, it's time to check out and continue your journey. Departure transfers aren't included, so you'll need to arrange your onward travel in advance.

TUI DESTINATION EXPERIENCES COSTA RICA S.A.
At the moment there are no reviews for this experience.
Yes. Tocu Tent Camp is operated by TUI Destination Experiences Costa Rica S.A. in an established eco-camp within the Caño Negro wetlands. You're guided throughout activities, and the camp is designed for comfort with luxury tent accommodation rated as superior hotel category. The physical difficulty level is easy.
This stay does not include transfers, so it works as a standalone stay rather than a break from an existing hotel booking. You'll need to arrange your own transport to and from Caño Negro. The camp recommends approaching from La Fortuna, Río Celeste, Liberia airport or Northern Guanacaste beaches.
The price covers two nights in a luxury tent, six meals (2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, 2 dinners), all listed activities including the tree-planting session and one afternoon activity of your choice, plus guided tours. Arrival and departure transfers, flights, drinks, and travel insurance are not included.
Costa Rica's northern wetlands are accessible year-round, but the dry season from December to April offers easier road conditions and less rain. The wet season from May to November brings higher water levels and more birdlife to the lagoons.
No special fitness is needed. The physical difficulty level is listed as easy. Activities are gentle: walking paths, tree planting, birdwatching, and a river eco-tour by boat. Comfortable walking shoes and layers for varied microclimates are recommended.
