This 162-hectare ecolodge lies 20km northwest of Volcán. At 1900m it's among the highest in Panama, and the cloud forest bordering Parque Internacional La Amistad is a nature-lover's dream. Nine trails over 50km lead to waterfalls and hot springs. Choose from a stylish main lodge, a trailside treehouse or cabins with full kitchens. All have hammock decks with views.
The cabins are off the grid, so hot water, electricity and internet comes via a micro-hydroplant. Guests can sign up for guided hikes to the top of Mt Totumas (2630m) and into La Amistad park. Transportation is available from Volcán (US$60 one way), located 70 minutes away by a rough road, or from Boquete and David (US$100). Otherwise guests will need a high-clearance 4WD. Services are more limited September to October.
