About

Our Ecolodge is an amazing place with an authentic design and style, made out of cabins and teepee camping. The atmosphere of nature that surrounds us and the beautiful landscapes you see here are what make us unique. This place is a full representation of what Panama is, because of everything you can see and experience here: the food, meeting our local staff, the nature and the indigenous community.

We are 1 hour and 30 minutes from Panama City, at Bayano Lake. You can come in any kind of transport to our meeting point at the Madugandi Restaurant, 100 m before the Bayano Bridge, and from there we pick you up in our boats. The restaurant is not operating at the moment, but the access point is exactly the same. We want to invite young and adult travellers who love nature and enjoy outdoor activities that are easy to do, like hiking, kayaking, fishing or birdwatching. The landscapes you can enjoy here are extremely amazing and unique.

The service you receive here is amazing and all the tours you can do will make you want to stay forever! We have common areas such as the lobby with a full kitchen and some games, and an area for bonfire and relaxation in front of Bayano Lake.

The cabins and rooms we offer are very authentic and comfortable. This place lets you feel connected to nature and still have a lot of comfort. Our staff makes sure your room is always clean and fresh for you to feel in paradise. The decoration is inspired by the culture of Panama, with a touch of minimalist style. We also decorate for couples who want a romantic touch in their rooms, free of charge.

Come and live the Bayano experience!

An amazing experience! we stayed in an open kind of cabin, made from wood and palmleaves, overlooking the lake. It was big, had it's own little bathroom and a super comfy bed. We were there all alone for 3 days, only with the family that cooked our meals and brought those to us at our cabin. We only heard the water beneath us, the howler monkeys in the morning, and all kinds of birds. It was really a wonderful and totally relaxing stay.
