Loes is an excellent chef, and Kees a great tour guide. Very impressed with the...More

Might it be possible to get to Cambutal by boat, either hired or hitch hike, for a few days and return the same way....or hike/camp a rough coastal route? I plan on spending the month of Feb 2017 on the West coast of the Azuero, incl a few nites at Heliconia. Have been to Cambutal in 2013 and would like to see it again. Will also be looking to spend few nites camping on one of the islands, fishing, spearing. Probably Coiba or if poss Montuosa.

Spear fishing in the Coiba NP is strictly forbidden and fishing with rod and line is restricted to 7 pelagic species (yellowfin tuna, wahoo, sailfish, rooster fish, blue-finned jack, amberjack and sierra). You are not allowed to fish on or near reefs. A permit costs USD 50.
You can go spear fishing from Cebaco and along the west coast of the Azuero outside the Cerro Hoya NP.

Hi, I want to know how to book a reservation. I am interested in staying with you arriving on the 13th of March from Boca del Toro and leaving on the 15th of March. I have a registered service animal (a well trained, obedient and quiet Chihuahua). Thanks, Manuel Valenzuela
