Jungle Paradise: Escape to a Panamanian Eco-Lodge

Picture spending a few nights in a lush Panamanian jungle, tree frogs and the pitter patter of rain on the roof your bedtime soundtrack, while birds and monkeys act as your alarm clock. 🐒 ___ To see the jungle, you don’t even have to get out of bed, as your room is open on three sides looking out toward Bocas del Toro’s dolphin-filled lagoon. During a hot outdoor shower, birds fly in to say good morning. ___ Onsite, you spend days kayaking through mangroves, hiking the onsite trails, discovering bat caves and learning how the property turns their cacao pods into delicious chocolate bars and desserts. 🦇 ___ At mealtime, you dine with other guests, savoring creative dishes laced mainly with local ingredients grown on their jungle farm. ___ Sounds incredible, right? 😍 ___ Well this was exactly my experience while staying at @lalomajunglelodge on Bastimientos Island in Bocas del Toro, Panama. ___ The other aspect that makes a stay truly a heavenly experience: There’s no cell service or WiFi, so you can’t help but let the peace of the place wash over you. 😴 ___ Swipe right for a preview of the experience -- and yes, that silhouetted animal is a sloth.
