This Is an incredible place that I nearly didn't know about. With a museum, archaeological site, sacred sites still visited by the indigenous groups today and free tours as part of the stay, Eduardo knows so much I could have sat there all day learning. Incredible history here with access to the beautiful refreshing glacier river to swim. Couldn't recommend it enough. Everyone needs to go!

Loved the jungle dorm in front of the river! Such a unique setting next with untouched nature. I recommend the cacao forest tour and also indigenous ceremony. My group also took the tubes down the river, absolutely serene. Enjoyed typical breakfasts, tropical fruits and seafood. Thank you to the warm team, I will return soon!
