What to expect
A person from the ecolodge will be waiting for you upon your arrival at Nuqui Airport. After a 40-minute boat ride, you’ll disembark on a deserted beach and discover the environment where you’ll be staying.
Flower-lined pathways connect the various cabins that make up the ecolodge. Built in a traditional manner, they blend perfectly with the surroundings: on one side, a lush forest, and on the other, the beach and then the ocean.
Located in the Guachalito area, this establishment is notably isolated, far from its neighbors. In this fantastic natural setting, you'll be able to experience unforgettable moments.
Even if the whales aren't visible this season, walks along the vast black sand beaches, bordered by a verdant jungle and the blue ocean, should not leave you indifferent.
Your host will connect you with locals to organize other activities that interest you.
Around the ecolodge, you can: surf, discover waterfalls, observe wildlife, explore the jungle in search of brightly colored frogs, plan a kayaking session, or arrange an introduction to traditional fishing.
Venturing a bit further, discover the village of Termales and its hot springs, the mangroves of Coqui and their culinary specialties, or the Rio Jovi, with its tranquility and trees shading the river.
