Lodge Activities

Since we are located in a rainforest, it may rain, but normally at night or in the morning before clearing up.

If it does happen to rain so much as to cancel a trip, we offer board games for kids, our relaxing swimming pool, horseshoes, Frisbee and fishing off the river bank.

You can book a massage from a local masseuse or even curl up with one of our books for reading on your own hammock or by the river.
