Tocú Tent Camp

Río Celeste, Costa Rica

Tocú Tent Camp

Nature immersion in the Caño Negro wetlands

  • Camp

A tented camp with private trails, wildlife encounters and conservation in action

In the heart of Hacienda Caño Negro Natural Park in northern Costa Rica, Tocú Tent Camp is surrounded by wetlands and the jungle, alive with the calls of some 350 bird species. Staying here means waking to the sight of herons lifting from the water, spotting monkeys and reptiles on a boat tour and ending the day around the fire.

The camp’s luxury tents are designed to bring you directly into this landscape, with private terraces, open-air showers and locally crafted furnishings and textiles. The camp’s gathering spaces centre around fire pits, a lounge and a restaurant, where meals draw on local flavours. Life here flows between comfort and connection to nature, particularly walking the reserve’s private trails and spotting wildlife with expert guides.

Tocú also invites you to take an active part in the restoration of this fragile ecosystem through its reforestation project, which includes nature workshops on sustainable ranching and farming practices. Guests can learn about this conservation work while spotting rare jungle species and planting a tree through the camp’s adoption programme, leaving a living marker of your time in Caño Negro.
