Hummingbird Rest was very clean and well-appointed. Nestled amidst jungle plants, we were surrounded by birdsong and it was nice and dark at night. It’s hard to keep nature out, and we got used to living in harmony with a few creepy-crawlies (not in the bed, though!) .
The shower is very small and difficult to maneuver in, especially for big or tall people. Nighttime is punctuated with the sounds of distant, barking dogs and an early-rising rooster.
True to its name, we were frequently visited by a hungry and friendly rufous-tailed hummingbird. I also identified quite a few other birds during my stay.
We spent most of our time away on tours in the area, and Peter is very well-connected with local tour operators who were responsive, extremely well-informed, and awesome.
