Here amid the pines and tropical foliage Francis Ford Coppola first found this modest forest lodge while hiking in 1981. Mr. Coppola created a hillside village of seven luxury caba as and six magnificent villas elevated on stilts above the river. All are hand-crafted in hardwood and have thatched roofs and exotic interiors. The staff is wonderful and there is a restaurant , cocktail bar and fireplace in the main lodge. Continental breakfast is included with your stay.
Tours are available daily.

On either side steep rain forested slopes rise to sheer limestone cliffs that gleam white in the midday sun. There are 12 rustic cabin style cabanas, with hot water, that all face the Macal River. This is a place of rustic natural beauty and a great place to escape the urban lifestyle.
