My boyfriend and I stayed at the Parrot Nest for three nights in mid April. It was very comfortable, excellent food, beautiful spot. We definitely would stay longer next time. The hosts were very helpful and made the place feel like home. Tours were very easy to arrange, we rented a car but many people staying there got around using a shuttle service, also some tour guides picked them up right at the lodge. Definitely stay in this area for at least three nights, there is so much to see and the Parrot Nest is such a relaxing place to come back to after a full day of exploring.
