We wanted a couple of days to explore the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, and this is the perfect place to set up base camp. They are located right outside the reserve and the family used to live where the reserve is now located. Brothers Julian and Greg were our guides, and they know the reserve extensively (like it was their former home!) They provide a variety of opportunities to explore the park and wildlife. On a night walk, we spotted either a jaguar or puma – so cool! In a Red Bank trip, we saw scarlet macaws, keel-billed toucan and many other birds. Greg and Julian have many stories to tell. (Ask Julian why it’s important to shake your boots out if you live in the jungle.) Yes, the accommodation is basic and simple, but we felt safe and comfortable. The whole family are gracious hosts.
