Tocu Tent Camp offers a unique blend of rustic luxury and immersive nature travel in the heart of Hacienda Caño Negro Natural Park, one of Costa Rica’s most ecologically rich wetland regions. This boutique, safari-style tented lodge is designed for birdwatchers, nature photographers, and travelers seeking an elevated yet authentic experience surrounded by biodiversity. With exclusive access to private trails and birding areas, Tocu provides exceptional opportunities to explore the lesser-known corners of the Caño Negro region while staying in comfort.
Each of the lodge’s spacious, 50m² canvas tents is carefully crafted with natural materials and locally inspired design. Features include a king bed and queen-size nest bed, air conditioning, handcrafted lighting, and a double-sink bathroom with a private rear garden offering a rainforest shower, outdoor soaking tub, and hanging nest hammock. Guests can relax on their private terrace, with views of tropical gardens and regular visits from the region’s abundant birdlife.
The on-site restaurant and bar are perched above the forest canopy, offering open-air dining with panoramic views. Meals highlight fresh local ingredients, and the setting is perfect for sunrise birdwatching or sunset cocktails. Guests also enjoy a forest-surrounded swimming pool, fire pits, and quiet communal areas ideal for reflection, conversation, or stargazing.
Beyond its comfort, Tocu is deeply rooted in sustainability and community engagement. The lodge supports reforestation, biodiversity initiatives, and local economic development through rural tourism. Guests are invited to take part in conservation programs like the tree adoption project, making each stay part of a larger purpose.
For birders and photographers seeking an inspiring and meaningful stay, Tocu Tent Camp offers both access to extraordinary wildlife and a chance to connect with the natural and cultural heart of Costa Rica’s northern wetlands.
