All of our guests rave about the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">accommodations</span>, the food, the service, and the outstanding bird watching from our front porch.<br /><br />If you need anymore convincing, check out the photos below.<br /><br />Don't forget to register to win a free kayaking or rafting trip in Ecuador for the 2007-2008 season.
