lodge sits at about 600 feet elevation in a valley of mostly primary,

the crest of a hill near the lodge. It is excellent for understory
flocks and forest birds. There is a view of Manual Antonio National
Park and Quepos from the peak. A trail leading down the other side
of the hill provides access to drier forest, which promises to hold
many new species for the list. Other trails accessing deeper forest
or higher elevations may be accessible with greater effort.
