I went to Tapir Lodge with my wife last April, and had the best travel experience…The lodge was very comfortable, and best of all, had a great atmosphere (to the point where we often forgot we were tourists, and felt like right at home-yes, at home in the middle of the rainforest!) Kurt, our host and the owner of the lodge, couldn’t have been more helpful. Plus, he’s an encyclopedia of knowledge on the area (which is basically what you want when you find yourself in a place so different from where you tend to be). The surroundings were unbelievably beautiful, the sunset mesmerizing (definitely take your camera everywhere you go!). Swimming in the river at dusk was surprisingly the highlight of my trip, although you might like the wildlife viewing tours better.
