Field notes

Getting There

35m drive from ZIH

Final 10 mins are bumpy dirt road. Standard rental works, but SUV is smoother.

The Playbook

Friday Start

Weekend trips are surprisingly efficient here. Friday check-ins offer the lowest average rate.

Good to Know

Off-Grid

100% solar. No A/C (fans only). You live with the jungle - expect geckos in open-air spaces.
