A work in progress during our last visit, this somewhat shabby-chic lodge at the 15Km marker, run by Ancon Expeditions, has five comfortable and good-sized cabins – ask for the one on the hilltop with 360-degree views of the surrounding rainforest. The jungle is the main reason for staying here; it is teeming with birds and other wildlife.
It is not exactly roughing it, but creature comforts are limited to cold-water showers and generator-powered electricity (from 6pm to 10pm only at the moment). Meals are served table d'hôte-style in the breezy open kitchen. Birdwatching trips and excursions to Lago Bayano also available.
