Om overnatningsstedet

Ferie i et arkitektonisk kunstværk: BirdHouse ved Panamakanalen.

  • Bird House er et unikt tropisk 'udendørs' hjem indeholdt i designmagasiner i Europa og Amerika. Vores hjem i den historiske Panama Canal by Gamboa giver vores gæster en unik mulighed for at opleve tropisk natur ved siden af et af verdens moderne vidundere, Panamakanalen.

    Bird House er designet af Patrick Dillon og har lofter med dobbelt højde, et fabelagtig køkken og et ekspansivt dæk forbundet til en 10M pool, hvorfra man kan nyde den tropiske verden, der er vores baghave. Vågn op hver morgen til 'flyvning' over hundreder af papegøjer. Nyd kaffe fra vores Boquete-gård på vores dæk, mens du lytter til aber, der hyler fra den tilstødende Cerro Pelado-jungle. Eller afslutt din dag med kølige drinks, der nydes fra soveværelsets balkon, mens du skimter store skibe, der passerer Panamakanalen.

    Vores pool er et fantastisk sted at køle af efter en dag på vandreture eller cykelture på stierne omkring Gamboa eller fugleopdræt på den verdensberømte Pipeline Road. Vi er en 15-minutters gang til den offentlige dock, hvor du kan leje en båd og en kaptajn til en morgen eller en dag med fiskeri efter påfuglbas, snook og den undvigende tarpon. Lej kajakker fra Gamboa Resort, og håber, at manater ruller under dig, når du padler op ad Chagras-floden, mens du søger efter kaiman på flodbredden. Gamboa er også vært for Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute og er startstedet for at krydse Panamakanalen til den verdensberømte Barro Colorado Island og Naturmonument (adgang kun med forhåndsreservationer).

    Bird House ligger 25 minutters kørsel (længere med trafik) til det bankende hjerte af Casco Viejo, det historiske centrum af Panama City. Casco har smag med små udendørs restauranter, unikke kulturelle spillesteder og en vidunderlig udsigt over Panama Bay og den moderne Panama City. Vi er en 15-minutters kørsel til Pan American Highway, der fører dig vestover til strande ved Pacific Coast (og vores Rio Mar Surf Platforms i San Carlos - 70 minutter), eller øst til Transisthmian motorvejen, og derefter nord til korallrevene, de blå farvande og kaptajn Morgan's pirat enklav på den Caribiske kyst.

    Vores tropiske hus bringer et nyt design til det tidligere Canal Zone territorium Gamboa. Dette tre-etagers hus er et unikt rum, designet til at reagere på de naturlige og kulturelle egenskaber ved Gamboa.

    Hjemmet har et miljøvenligt design, der er konstrueret i beton- og plantage-teakbelagte vægge. Stueetagen har aircondition, mens første og anden sal ikke gør det; de store væsker skygger solen og de luftede vægge og store skærmdøre styrer luftstrømmen fra fremherskende brise og holder 1. og 2. sal godt ventileret. Husets åbne layout giver mulighed for en indvendig tilgang til at leve med naturen, der fremhæver lyde, lugt og udsigt til den omgivende tropiske skov og Panamakanalen.

    Bird House har tre etager (anden, første og jord)

    * Anden sal har en master suite med balkon med udsigt over den indre gårdhave, poolen og udsigt over Panamakanalen. Dette værelse er designet til at drage fordel af den daglige vej til solen og naturlige luftbevægelser for at skabe et soveværelse med vidunderlig lys og naturlig ventilation. Der er et garderobeskab, og der er smukke high-end-finish i det dobbelte badeværelse.

    * Første sal har et moderne køkken i åben stil med store bordplader i marmor, der forbinder til en rummelig stue og spisestue med et loft på 25 ft. Køkkenet er godt udstyret og en dejlig plads til madlavning og underholdning. Spisestuen / stuen har et familiebord med bænkesæder og ende stole til 8 og smukke specialfremstillede sofaer og stole, designet af ejeren. To store dæk åbner køkken og opholdsstue via store skydedøre i træ. Når der åbnes, er der en problemfri forbindelse mellem udendørs og indendørs rum, hvilket skaber både visuel og fysisk ekspansivitet.

    Det større dæk har udsigt til den indre gårdhave og har: indbygget bænk siddepladser, en 10-meter swimmingpool, en japansk stil brusebad, dækmøbler og en gas-grill. Dette er et ideelt sted at slappe af ved poolen, se kolibrier danse rundt om den indre gårdhave og nyde middag med udsigt over den tropiske regnskov.

    * Stueetagen er den eneste plads i huset med aircondition. Stueetagen har tre enkeltværelser, hver ca. 10'x12 '. Hvert værelse har et indbygget bureau, skab, skrivebord og afslapningskrog med udsigt til den indre gårdhave. Hvert værelse åbner ind i et stort, 20'x30 'klimatiseret rum med et poolbord og liggestole, der er gode til afslapning. Stueetagen badeværelse har tre dræn, der støder op til to badeværelser, et med toilet og badekar og det andet med toilet og to brusere.

    Rio Mar Surf Platforms: En af de mange unikke egenskaber ved Bird House er muligheden for at bruge vores Rio Mar surfplatforme i San Carlos. Beliggende ca. 70 minutter fra Gamboa nær en smuk Stillehavsstrand, tillader vores platforme vores gæster en vidunderlig strandoplevelse at supplere deres Panama Canal og jungle-eventyr. Gæster, der booker Bird House i en uge eller mere, tilbydes en nat gratis på vores Surf Platforms (midt uge, afhængigt af tilgængelighed - vi vil gøre alt for at sikre tilgængeligheden).

    Dit ophold på Bird House: Gæster har adgang til hele hjemmet, poolen og grunden. Vores hus vil være dit at nyde, som du ønsker. Du vil have komplet privatliv, selvom der er mulighed for at arrangere stuepige og / eller en kok, hvis du ønsker det. Vi beder vores gæster om at betale personale direkte, da vi ikke tager en procentdel af deres service. Vi vil fortælle dig, hvor meget personale, der forventer at modtage for deres service.

    Mere om Gamboa: Gamboa er et grønt, gangbart samfund afgrænset af Chagres-floden, Panamakanalen (Lake Gatun) og Soberania National Park. Gamboa ligger 25 km uden for Panama City og en times kørsel til både Atlanterhavet og Stillehavet.

    Gamboa tilbyder fugl i verdensklasse. Byen er indgangspunktet til Pipeline Road, en vidunderlig gåtur gennem junglen og nogle af de bedste fuglekilder i verden. Artslisten for Pipeline Road overstiger 400, og hvis du kender dine fugle, kan du se eller høre 100 arter på en morgentur, for ikke at nævne aber, anteater, dovendyr osv. Gamboa er også et startpunkt for fiskeekspeditioner ved Gatun-søen eller kajaksejlads Chagres-floden. Dette hus byder på at bruge tid på at nyde lyden fra Panamakanalen og den rige panamanske tropiske regnskov.

    Lokale ting at gøre og faciliteter:

    Dette hus er centralt beliggende. Du er:
    * 2 km væk fra indgangen til Pipeline Road - en historisk vej, der er en destination i verdensklasse til fugletitting.
    * 4 km væk fra Panama Rainforest Discovery Center.
    * 650 m (7-min. Gang) fra den eneste nærbutik i Gamboa.
    * 5 min gang til udsigt over Panamakanalen.
    * 1 km fra Gamboa Resort.
    * 1. 6 km fra den offentlige dock, hvor turbåde og fiskerbåde afgår.
    * En fem minutters gang til gratis, først til mølle, tennisbaner

    At komme rundt: Vi har kontakter til transport til og fra lufthavnen samt touring Panama og de omkringliggende områder. Vi kan også hjælpe med at forbinde dig med en af de bedste turist- / fuglevejledning i Panama. Igen betaler vi ikke for disse tjenester og beder dig om at betale tjenesteudbydere direkte. Vi hjælper dig med at forhandle priser.

One of the most beautiful and unique stays I have had through VRBO. Chimene was a wonderful host, with excellent communication and recommendations. It was incredible to see so much wildlife from the deck, while watching ships pass on the canal. Check out Treehouse Pizza in Gamboa for delicious pizza and sticky buns.

One of a kind home with a character and design unlike any other we’ve seen. It was a memorable stay with lovely times in the pool listening to the howler monkeys in the nearby hills We had the added benefit of getting to know the property owner Chimene. Thank you! Team Canada

Perfection in Panama

Care about the aesthetics of where you're staying? This is a beautiful indoor/outdoor pavilion with interesting art and a fabulous outdoor space. There are lots of spaces for four adults to be together or by themselves, and our family loved the house. The location is an easy drive from the airport and is very convenient to bird-watching on Pipeline Road or the launch for many of the canal tours. Logistics for the trip were made so much easier with all the information provided by our hosts. Shopping and dining recommendations were all provided in advance, as well as contacts for other services like in-home cooking or tour guides. The house itself had everything we could think of and then some. Loved our week spent at The Birdhouse!

A paradise close enough to the City but surrounded by natural beauty!

The house itself is beautifully designed with wide open spaces and beautiful wood interior! The kitchen is well appointed with every amenity you could possibly need to prepare great meals! The master bedroom at the top is a triumph with a balcony overlooking the garden and pool where every sort of tropical bird - including two types of toucans come to visit every day. The host could not be more helpful recommending tours, hikes, restaurants, supermarkets! She even loaned us her hiking polls. The ground floor is perfect for young people and we can’t wait to take our young adult kids back! Thank you Gamboa and the Bird House for a wonderful stay!

Disappointed - had to find a new accommodation

We booked this home for an 8-day getaway, drawn in by the private pool. Unfortunately, we left after just one night.The House: The interior is mostly as advertised, and the homeowner is clear about the lack of AC on the main and primary bedroom levels. While we accepted this upfront, the interior still presented issues. The primary bed had several mosquitos on the comforter before we even got in—enough to make my husband refuse to sleep in it. We relocated to the lower level, which thankfully has AC. The biggest concern inside was the primary shower, which faces another home with no covering on a large window. We had to shower in the dark the first night and crouch low the next morning to maintain privacy.The Pool: This was the dealbreaker. The water was murky and uninviting—you couldn’t see the bottom. The host attributed it to diatomaceous earth used for filtration, but this wasn’t disclosed in the listing. It's still not a pool we felt comfortable for family usage. The surrounding area was also misrepresented: broken lounge chairs, the shade structure was no longer there, and red ants everywhere. We never used the pool and chose to leave the property after 1 night. Photos can support our experience. Location: Definitely know you are 40 minutes from Panama City and there are not many restaurant options near the home.Overall would recommend some owner TLC to the outside of the home. For the rate per night, we definitely expected a lot more.

Stellar in Every Way

Pictures can't capture how truly lovely this house is: charming sleeping rooms, a well-appointed kitchen, and comfortable common areas for the family to gather were only the beginning. Books, artwork, and personal touches made this place seem like our cozy home and not just another rental space. Our hosts were friendly, helpful, but never intrusive: they took care of us before check-in by setting up hummingbird feeders far enough in advance to establish a resident population, guided us through the day-to-day necessities like shopping and utilities, and followed though after check-out to be sure our experience was wonderful throughout. The kids loved the pool and our friendly Black Vulture friend. Nature lovers should not hesitate to book this oasis - my favorite parts of the visit were the early mornings sitting on the deck with a coffee, watching the Toucans and Tamarins along with my favorite, a gorgeous Squirrel Cuckoo (and a host of other birds and animals!). Gamboa is a marvelous small town, well away from the city chaos but with fantastic recreational options near at hand. We swam in a waterfall pool, hiked the world-famous Pipeline road, saw giant ships on the Canal, visited a native village (ask the hosts for a guide recommendation, so much more affordable than other published options!), took the kids to a zoo and playground, and even spent a day on the Caribbean side of Panama a fairly short drive away. I'm home now, exhausted, but ever so grateful for the once-in-a-lifetime memories of our Bird House trip. Book this place. Book this place. Book this place. It's magical.

Great place for a couple. Review limited to 2490 words. Too bad. I had good to add but limited.

There are times in life that despite one's efforts things still go wrong. The first night in the Birdhouse was one of those times. We were 4 female friends. Check-in day we had taken a 30 min boat ride, a taxi, hour plane, rented a car, visited Casa Viejo & Locks, grocery shopped & drove to the Birdhouse. We arrived ‪at the estimated time and went in as instructed. Our first greeting was a very cute bat swooping above our heads. We have all had bats in our house. Next we're the bedrooms which were behind the opaque facade walls. They were very difficult to opened. When we eventually found the bedrooms it was a punch in the gut. There was a strong smell of mildew & each bedroom was in a dark dank cubby hole. I am baffled as to why this information is not in any reviews? We had no way to phone contact owner/host as the WiFi password was not provided. The man across the street knew the password so we could make call The conversation was a disappointment. She came across as condescending. I'm sure it wasn't her intent, but that was how it presented. When I shared our complaints about no host to greet us, her response was “well most people like to be on their own to explore. The receiving host was her plan, and she never asked what we preferred. In addition, it's SOP in the field to have someone receive guests. When I mentioned any problems, her response was well your in the jungle. I knew where I was. I explained the downstairs was too smelly to sleep in and again her response was that’s how it smells in the jungle.(Apparently she was at an event and trying to appease me. We were both in bad places to communicate.) We all felt it was a health risk to sleep downstairs so we shared the only other bedroom & the two other girls slept on the couches in the living room no pullout bed. In all my planning I never envisioned that we would spend that amount of money to be sleeping on couches & doubling up in bed. In the end I would stay here again because it is the nicest house in Gamboa. Only as a couple/maybe one child. I did look around in the basement for any mold/mildew but could find none. All appeared clean. The owner reported that the housekeeper uses vinegar and bleach to keep the smell down. Dangerous combo. She stated that when no one is there they turn off the air conditioners. There were no dehumidifiers. (I see the problem now.) I just want others to know about the basement. I hope you enjoy your stay as in the end we did.

Such an amazing stay, from the house, to the surroundings and the owner. We used all the recommendations (Kamir is a great cook and wonderful person), went on a boat tour and enjoyed the Embera trip. It was our first time in the jungle and Gamboa was a great experience. Safe and friendly all around!

Love this location. Love Gamboa and Panama

If you want to wake up surrounded by nature, with the sounds of parrots and howler monkeys in your ears, be able to rest and relax in an amazing beautiful, bespoke house and also be able to get into Panama City for it's vibrancy this place is for you. You are right in the rainforest with easy access to tours and daytrips, but also totally self-sufficient if you want. We love this location and have stayed multiple times. We always look forward to going back.

Great home for a family vacation.

Amazing architecture. The main house is very open with cool design elements. The kids were happy with their own rooms, a pool, ping pong, etc. The area is very quiet... with an occasional train coming through. Overall, an excellent stay.

Luxury in the Jungle

We had a fabulous stay at this house. It was a surprise to see all the open space in the home which the pictures can’t show. The master suite is luxurious with a beautiful mosquito net canopy bed, luxury bathroom with double vanity, and shower, beautiful faucets, bidet, automatic flushing toilet and California closets-truly Condé Nast Magazine picture worthy. The three levels of the house make it possible to spread out yet take in the sights and sounds of the surrounding jungle. It seemed that we lived with flocks of Toucans and green parrots and awoke with the haunting sounds of the Howler monkeys. This house is truly a magical place and experience our entire family enjoyed.

By far the best place to stay in Gamboa

A magnificent house with a pool, amazing breezes, a desperate kid or quiet sleeping area (air conditioned)- the house alone is a vacation onto itself with swimming, a pool table, ping pong and more. And then outside the rain forest, lake Gatun... Chimene had amazing recommendations and our trip was near perfect. I’m so relieved we did not stay in the resort but then it was also nice to have it there to use the trails and see their facilities. Recommend Pipeline Road with Saul, the most amazing bird guide; Playa Blanca outside portobelo; walking along the chagres through the resort jn the evening (monkeys!! The most magical forest); drinks on the porch in a Friday night with the da and baseball game below; and experiencing the sad heartbreaking beauty of the town of gamboa. We will return!

Excellent property and the owners were quite accommodating. Excellent birding! Refreshing pool!

As above. We all recommend the Birdhouse without any reservations and Gamboa has lots to offer.

Unique house and experience

This house is a truly unique experience as it is open to the environment, creatures sounds and all! We had a great time here experiencing and it is perfect for those that love nature. From the moment we arrived in the pouring rain we saw an agouti and as the sun came out so did all the birds! Chimene, who owns the property was very helpful from the off. She put us in touch with a private guide who took us on a boat onto Lake Gutan where we experienced close up the ships going up and down the canal, the local wildlife and local Indians. We stayed out of season, but even in season there is little in the way of restaurants, so you must bring food with you or eat in the local hotel up the road. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need to cook though, it really is home from home. Don't stay here is you don't like bugs or the odd bat flitting about, this house is about as close to nature you can get but still be inside!!

Spectacular Home in the Jungle!

Our family has traveled all over the world (50+ countries), and we've never stayed in a house quite like this one. We really wanted to get out of Panama City and be closer to the jungle, canal, etc. The home provided a perfect base for 5 nights of our trip in Panama. The architecture and design is very unique, the location is in a nice part of the quiet town of Gamboa, and the Gamboa Rainforest Resort is only a 10-15 minute walk away. We did a sunset boat cruise, the aerial tram tour, the ecological exhibits (butterfly garden, orchid center, and frog house), and the new wildlife rescue center on property. All were pretty good. We cooked most of our meals ourselves in the fantastic kitchen, but we did have a couple meals at the Resort which were actually pretty good. For a family of 6 (2 parents, 2 grandparents, and 2 young children), the house was perfect. The open air design made us feel like part of the jungle, and we enjoyed hearing and seeing birds from the house and decks. Even when it was hot outside, the house always felt very comfortable with all the air flow (and the basement level is air conditioned). The toys, board games, and books were a great hit with our kids, and there were many interesting books upstairs for the adults. We used the swimming pool daily, and we even played a little on the pool table and ping pong table. Chimene, the owner, was delightful to work with and was available before, during, and after our stay to make sure everything went smoothly. I also walked to an ATM and a little convenience store in town and had no issues finding anything. We've been raving about this place to friends and family since we returned, and I expect we will tell anyone visiting Panama it is a "must do" part of their trip. I've rated other vacation houses that were perfectly nice 5 stars....this truly perfect house deserves more like 7 stars.

Fabulous house in a great location

The house is unique and a special experience. There is plenty to do in the area for day trips but our family also enjoyed hanging at the house where we could read on the deck, watch the parrots fly across the sky, and our college age boys could play ping pong or pool. The kitchen was great and we cooked in for all but one lunch in Panama City. We highly recommend it and the owner, Chimene, was very helpful and considerate.

AMAZING NATURE UNIQUE DESIGN HOUSE

I rented this house with 10 friends for the weekend and we had an amazing time. The house provides an amazing outdoors feeling with the open living room and kitchen design connecting to the nature outside. The swimming pool and deck is amazing and the "kids" play room are perfect for hanging-out while playing pool. On of the best surprises was the FULLY equipped kitchen (as a real home and not as rental house). Even though on the top level there isn't air conditioning, the open design provides a fresh breeze during the day (complemented by fans). If you are looking for a house with lots of contact with nature and to hang out with comfort, this is the perfect house. Be aware: nature = bugs + mosquito The host was very thoughtful and organized. Everything was very well coordinated.

Amazing House for Those Who Love the Outdoors

This house in Gamboa was perfect for me - I loved how it makes you feel like you're living in a tree house. However, it is in the jungle so anyone who wants all the creature comforts without the creatures should probably look elsewhere. Positives: - The house is beautiful and clean. - There are tons of beds in the house so while on a girls trip, no one had to snuggle. - The pool and deck are amazing. I had great plans to hike on day one, but instead I could not tear myself away from the amazing facilities in the house itself. - Nature. There are SO MANY birds that come to the house, humming birds, toucans, etc. - Host. The host is amazing and did a fabulous job facilitating my visit, arranging a guide to lead us from the airport to the house after dark, helping us find a grocery, and arranging for the housekeeper to also cook us local food. - AC. The main levels of the house are not air conditioned (which I love in the tropics) but the basement where the small bedrooms are located had two AC units and fans. I loved that I could have the humidity and breezes of the tropics during the day, but could retreat to AC to sleep at night. Surprises - From the photos I was not 100% clear on the layout. Essentially, there are no completely private areas in the house. This was not a problem for my group, but is something to keep in mind if planning a romantic couples get away. The master bedroom is open to the rest rest of the house, though it is raised above the kitchen. The architecture is AMAZING but may not lend itself to privacy. The basement has 3 bedrooms, all of which have "windows" to the common area, so none of the bedrooms are completely sealed off. 3 beds are located in the common area, which makes going to bed a group effort if they are all occupied. - Animals. The host left the family dog & cat at the property. The pets had caretakers so they were not a problem for my group, just a bit of a surprise. If you are allergic, have that discussion with the host and I'm sure there will be no problems. Negatives (if one considers them negative): This house is OPEN AIR in the main levels. There is no glass, there is no AC. There are only screens. It is in the tropics, it will be warm. And bugs/wild creatures may arrive in the house. While not always ideal, this is what one should expect in a house such as this. If you accept this, the house is for you :) Overall, I loved the house & recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing, outdoor experience in Panama.

Amazing, unique place to stay

My extended family of 8 stayed at the Bird House in Dec 2014 for six days. Our group consisted of my wife and I, our 2 children (ages 8 & 11), and our 4 parents. The house is a wonderful, unique experience for those looking for something very different from regular hotels. There is plenty of space, the full amenities of home (including very reliable wifi), and amazing decorations that had my wife (a graphic designer) buzzing with ideas. You truly can see the tops of ships on the canal from the deck and there really are birds everywhere. We didn’t catch sight of any monkeys around the property, but there were plenty along pipeline road (5 minute drive away), and there are agoutis and coatis hanging out in the park across the street. Look at the pictures on the site closely to understand how the house is laid out - the exterior walls on the main floors are giant, slatted, sliding panels with screens to keep the bugs out. This means the house feels almost more outdoors than indoors. Our group loved it, and we never felt like our privacy was impinged upon since there is a fair amount of distance to the neighbors, but if you are not an outdoors lover it may feel strange to you to have all the noises from the world around you in your living space. Obviously, there is also no air conditioning, but numerous fans throughout the house keep it quite pleasant. Chimene, the owner, is the perfect “remote host.” She helped us extensively with planning activities prior to our stay in Gamboa and also gave us advice for things to do in other parts of Panama. She had tremendous patience with me as I pinged her with loads of emails. Later in our trip we ended up staying at her treetop “beach platforms” in Rio Mar as well which was a whole other type of cool experience.

Creating Family Memories that Last a Lifetime

Our family travels to Panama each year to visit family who live in Panama. To maximize our time together, we will rent a vacation house where we can stay together, share meals, hang out, and go on outings as a group. We are usually able to find something to fit our needs, but rarely have we had the opportunity to mix family time with the adventure of discovering wild Panama. This house in Gamboa was the perfect retreat for reuniting with our family and getting to show our kids the beauty and excitement of Panama’s rainforest and Canal Zone. The house, in which the owner raised her own family, is arranged perfectly to enable families to spend time hanging out together. We were seven adults and 3 kids and the house fit us fine. The well-stocked kitchen made group efforts to produce family meals a breeze. We enjoyed lounging out on the expansive patio, swimming in the pool, and watching the butterflies and hummingbirds swarm around the flowering trees and the tropical birds – even toucans and parrots – flying overhead. You can even see from the pool deck, if you look closely, the barges passing through the canal. Our kids loved the downstairs area with the pool and ping pong tables, and TV with tons of DVDs. In the evenings we would make dinner and serve it family-style on the large dining room table. Early mornings were the perfect time to explore the nearby hiking trails. We visited Pipeline Road and the new Rainforest Discovery Center and checked out the trails around Gamboa resort, which is right down the street. We visited in August which is in the middle of the rainy season and since we were in the rainforest it did rain. Our solution to this was to spend our mornings which were reliably dry and sunny, exploring Gamboa and using the pool and then in the afternoon after lunch we would head to the beach on the Pacific side to escape the rain. Getting to the InterAmerican Highway from the property and over the canal to the beaches was a breeze. The owner of the property has a “platform” property at Rio Mar which we visited and it was the perfect set up to enjoy the beach and take a shower afterwards to remove the sand for the ride home. We liked the “platform” concept and the beach at Rio Mar so much that we plan to rent it for a few days next time we come to Panama. Both properties are It perfect places to disconnect from work and other stresses of life and reconnect with love ones to create memories that last a lifetime.

Beautiful, comfortable, relaxing. Great spot!

My family and I visited in April, we loved the house and location – we actually stayed in Chimene’s other house just across the driveway, but used the pool and spent quite a bit of time here. This place is fabulous! I woke one morning and my first sight as I opened my eyes was of two tamarin monkeys playing in the trees. What a great way to wake up! There are several really great hikes directly from the house. We saw four different types of monkeys, sloths, agouties, coatimundies, leaf cutter ants, a crocodile…. and a zillion different birds. Definitely hike up the pipeline road to the nature center to see the hummingbirds! When you come back from hikes and days out, the pool is just perfect to relax and cool off. We can’t wait to go back.
