Here's how the days unfold

There is a rhythm that you fall into naturally.

Mornings, your way

You wake up to birds, monkeys, and sometimes rain on the roof. Coffee and hot chocolate are ready, beans-to-cup made by you. Hummingbirds pass through the garden in the morning light, while the lodge slowly wakes up.

Some people head out early for a morning canoe ride to watch the Amazon come alive. Others stretch on a yoga mat, get a light workout in, or sleep a little longer. Breakfast waits for everyone before the day heads out.

Between adventures

Between activities, the lodge becomes your home base. People drift between hammocks, the river, shaded tables, or a quiet corner with a book.

If the sun’s out, someone usually ends up swimming or paddling on a SUP across the river. You’re free to join in or take space without feeling like you’re missing out.

When everyone comes back together

As the light changes, people gather again. Dinner turns into long conversations, shared stories, and plenty of laughter around the table. Some nights are lively, others quieter.

We also brew our own beer at the lodge. It’s cold, shared often, and always ready to make you even happier.

When the jungle takes over

Later, the jungle takes over again. As the air cools, the lodge quiets down. Lights go off, no more light pollution, and the stars come out especially on clear nights when the Milky Way stretches overhead.

The moments people talk about later

There is a rhythm that you fall into naturally.

The Pier Becomes a Playground

Jumping into the river. Paddling around on SUP boards. A game of dirty Jenga that gets way too competitive. The pier is where plans disappear and fun takes over.

Doing Nothing, Properly

Overwater hammocks, shaded loungers, slow afternoons watching the river drift by. Here, doing nothing isn’t wasted time — it’s the point.

Chocolate & Coffee From Where It Grows

Made with cacao and coffee from the local community. Hands-on, simple, and rooted in tradition. From bean to cup, you taste where you are.

Raw Nature, Real Wildlife

Pink dolphins. Lagoon sunsets. Birds you didn’t expect. Nothing is promised which makes every sighting feel earned.

Group Dinners That Turn Into Stories

Long tables. Second helpings. Stories passed around with the food. These meals aren’t events but they’re where friendships start.

Nights You Don’t Want to End

From kayaking and hiking to spotting wildlife and visiting local communities, the days stay active, hands-on, and full of discovery

No Wi-Fi but Better Connection

There’s no reception here, on purpose. Laughter comes easier. Just conversations that last longer.

Bathrooms With Jungle Views

Yes, really. Possibly the most peaceful place you’ll ever pee. (Pun intended!)
