The lodge is nicely located in the rain forest. Humming birds, butterflies and other birds are all around in the huge gardens. The sounds of running water and singing birds is filling the air.

The group is checked into a bunk house with tiny little rooms sleeping two of us. Note: You have to backup into the rooms, if you want to face the door when leaving, as there is no space to U-turn inside .

The food is extra ordinary. A selection of pizzas, beans, rice, noodles, meats, salads and cakes is arranged at a huge buffet.  The chef is a god. TdA should consider to hire him for their tours. Breakfast and dinner is included in the accommodation package, even at rest days. So no need to worry about were to get the calories to power up for next days ride.

The lodges and restaurants along the lake are nicely built and perfectly fit into the landscape.
