All of the stilt houses have been carefully constructed by the Ngäbe-Buglé people (natives of the region) from the various types of wood found on the property. Each piece has been cut and assembled by hand. The rustic Caribbean style blends perfectly with the Panamanian rainforest.

The torrent, the source of life! A system of hydroelectric micro-turbines provides the electricity needed to run the Lodge. Fresh water from the torrent is used for “forest bathing”, showers and other daily uses. Drinking water comes from a spring in the forest. It is filtered by a mechanical filtration system and ultraviolet rays. The toiletries supplied are entirely biodegradable.

Vegetables are grown in a climate-appropriate greenhouse, fruit trees grow on the property and the henhouse is well stocked.
