Welcome to jungle paradise. If you book here, you can expect a relaxed jungle atmosphere, relaxing in the hammock, kayaking to abandoned waterfalls in the jungle, meeting people from all over the world and a family-style and super delicious dinner (with the best bread I ate on our three-week trip through Guatemala). The owner lives in the complex with his small family. He is American and brings that bit more quality to the accommodation. The staff is well trained, takes care of everything and is super nice. For the critics: You are in the jungle. It's inevitable that you'll make the acquaintance of a spider or something similar. Welcome to nature, welcome to Tim and his wonderful team. Thanks for the nice time. We would have happily extended it if our schedule had permitted it.

A small hotel lost in the jungle on the Rio Dulce. A few bungalows in a lush garden, including a dormitory above the bungalow which serves as a restaurant and rest room. The only place where you can recharge your devices. A restaurant where everyone meets for dinner with very good vegetarian dishes. Kayak rentals and lancha excursions available from the hotel pontoon.
