Its spacious cabins provide comfort without air conditioning, thanks to the refreshing altitude of the cloud forest and are thoughtfully integrated into the environment where howler monkeys and sloths become neighbors. The guided night tours reveal the rainforest's hidden nocturnal wonders, complementing the serene mornings spent birdwatching over coffee.”
