About El Hotelito Perdido

El Hotelito Perdido is a small, rustic jungle hideaway. It is located in the middle of the rainforest on Río Lampara, a small river connected to Río Dulce.

We are across the river from the Hot Springs, close to a waterfall and a short journey from Manatee Reserve and Cayo Quemado. By boat we are a 45-minute ride from the town of Río Dulce and a 30-minute trip through the humbling Canyon Río Dulce to the funky Garifuna town of Livingston.

Our lodge is built in the typical jungle style. The accomodation we provide ranges from a small two-bed "dormitory" to cozy split-level bungalows equipped with a toilet and shower. We offer drinks, restaurant services (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and home-made bread and have a BBQ area.

We rent kayaks and cayucos, have a dock to swim off and if you are feeling lazy there are hammocks to relax in and books to read. Or if you are feeling active our guides Luis and Isaias can take you on a variety of tours (min 2 persons):

• 4–5 hour hike to Livingston (beautiful and unique trek with outstanding view from the highest point of the Río Dulce Canyon)
• 3 hour walk in the jungle starting in community project Ak' Tenamit and ending with a dip in the local Hot Springs.
• Kayak tour to "Biotopo Chocon Machacas" Manatee Reserve — a particularly beautiful and also the most protected part of the National Park. A great possibility to see monkies, toucans, parrots, etc (3 hours).
• 2 or 3 hour night walk in the jungle. Scary, but very cool.
• Full-moon kayak escapades to the Hot Springs.

There are many activities that do not require a guide. There are several tributaries and mangroves to explore with great bird life (especially early in the mornings), a kayak trip to the waterfall at the end of Río Lampara, a visit to the Hot Springs or kayaking through the Río Dulce Canyon.

Our electricity is provided by solar panel, and we collect rainwater for bathing. We are also consciously helping to reforest the jungle.
