ALL CABANAS ARE AIR-CONDITIONED BUT YOU DECIDE IF YOU NEED IT – Having found that many of our guests prefer open windows to enjoy the night-time  Noises of The Jungle  & the natural cooling of a thatch roofed cabana, we have structured our generators, electrical system and rates to provide air-conditioning as an option that can be added at the lodge or when booking your adventure.  Air-conditioning adds US$31 plus government tax per cabana-night.
Not available in Researcher Cabanas.

HOW MANY NIGHTS SHOULD WE BOOK –  3 To 4 Nights Is The Average  stay for couples and families on an Adventure-Package.  Some folk want to relax after their Adventure-Package & will add a couple of nights Accommodation-Only-&-Meals on the end.  Let us know how you imagine your experience and we will help you put it together.
