A crazy venture that might just work. Build a hostel on a tiny farm in the middle of the cloud forest with no road and 2 hours from the nearest shop. Everything to has to be carried up a very steep, slippery path. The weather changes every few seconds - rain, wind, fog and then a bit of sun.But its a unique wonderful experience to live for a few days, actually in a cloud forest.
You can visit nature on some of the great treks that start outside your door but nature also comes visiting you.
And if the forest gets a bit too much there is table football, games, hundreds of movies and the occasional poker tournament.
A superb experience that will be up at the top of most travellers to do list if the owner Andrew can get the final permissions to open officially. The story of the hurdles he has overcome would make a great book everything seems to have conspired to stop it happening from nightmare builder problems to a kinkaju with a bad paw

This area is the only one with a temperate climate in Panama. so they get very excited about flowers we think are ordinary

Hacked our way through the forest for 9 hours on the Quetzal Trail. Hardly saw any birds let alone a Quetzal
