In just two short weeks you will have seen spectacular scenery, a famous volcano, beautiful white sandy beaches, a cloud forest, taken scenic boat rides, and most of all, witnessed the superb wildlife. The wildlife here is magical - butterflies, brightly coloured birds, monkeys, lizards and much more besides. The accommodation has been chosen for its location, and so is not 5* luxury! Even so, all the rooms are comfortable and en-suite.
