Juan and Ana are exceptional hosts and made this a very special place to stay. The lodge is a beautiful design with a forest backdrop, full of wildlife. It was an excellent place to spend time and we only wish we could have stayed longer. Every day brings a new and delicious breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble.
