The Realities of Staying in a Jungle Lodge
A stay at Toucan Lodge is an unforgettable adventure, but life in the jungle comes with unique experiences. You’ll wake up to the sounds of exotic birds and fall asleep to the hum of the rainforest. The air is fresh, the views are breathtaking, and the connection to nature is unparalleled. The community invite you to join them to enjoy Guayusa tea nearby before sunrise.
However, the jungle is a living, untamed environment, and you may encounter insects. The running water is filtered and comes from the local river and is collected in a large water tank. Although, filtered and pure, the water is not potable. Large 15 litre tap water bottles are provided to drink in the kitchen. The tropical climate brings warmth, humidity, and sudden rain showers, adding to the immersive experience. While we provide comfort with mosquito nets, and quality amenities, it’s important to embrace the wild beauty that surrounds you. The lodge is an open-air space without windows. During the night time and early hours of the morning, you may feel a little chilly, so please bring suitable clothing to accommodate this, such as a warm poncho or jumper. We can provide extra blankets to accommodate your needs. We provide wellington boots, small binoculars, a bird guide book, shampoo and conditioner, and soap. See below for a fully list of amenities.
