What an amazing spot! Casa Santa Maria is perched on the hillside overlooking the Macal River. The home is spacious, gorgeous, and well appointed. Jungle life was never so elegant! We LOVED sitting on the huge deck, listening to the howler monkeys and watching the incredible birds. A quick hike down the path to the canoe provided and we were off to the waterfalls - two different sets! Gorgeous paddling, wonderful swimming. All this and a FANTASTIC breakfast included each morning, cooked by Lucy. Lucy is one of the warmest, personable people I've ever met; AND she's a wonderful cook! Added bonus: Casa Santa Maria is located within a sustainable, environmentally-conscious eco village.
