Help at an ecolodge in the mountains of Panama
Pays: Panama
Last Activity: 05.19.2012
Description
We are an ecolodge based in the Chiriqui Highlands of Panama, the highest province in Panama that bears resemblance to the Alps or the Himalayan mountains in Bhutan.
In 1960, we bought land that was being deforested, planted trees and built a few cabins to create an ecotourist attraction. That land is now part of two parks- Volcan Baru National Park and La Amistad International Park.
We have 10 hotel rooms, 7 suites, 3 dorms and 5 cabins. We offer hiking tours, mountain biking, horseback riding, birding and also have a spa.

Natalie was a great asset to our hotel. She made a lot of changes that benefited us positively. One of her best qualities is that she is very proactive; when she starts a project, she makes sure to finish it. For example, she set us up with volunteer exchange programs, then interviewed potential volunteers that would ultimately come work for us. more
I absolutely LOVE working at this place!
First, Carlos , the owner and manager is the most wonderful person to work for. He is incredibly open to suggestions for improvements and is always looking for new ways to do things. I've come up with so many ideas and seen them implemented immediately, for example, making one of the cabins into a dorm more
