THE RAINFOREST IS YOUR HOME

Mature mahogany trees, Spanish cedar, ceiba and a proliferation of bushes and ferns are the natural habitat of buzzing insects, iguanas, tapir, jaguars, howler monkeys, humming birds, spectacled owls, emerald toucanets…
And you. If you’re staying at Pook’s Hill, the rainforest is your home. This jungle lodge borders the Roaring River and Tapir Mountain Nature Reserve.
