Amazing Observation Platforms

Dedicated hummingbird photography area with continuous lights and tools for amazing results.

Choco toucan reserve is surrounded by 150 + hectares of rainforest and offers 2 spacious terraces and 5 observation platforms  which were designed to provide an outstanding photography and birding experience bringing both birds and mammals to eye level for extraordinary results even during the rainy season. Having been a professional photographer for several years, I designed these spaces with great photography in mind.

Milpe area has registered almost 500 bird species which is more than many whole countries in the world

Our spacious rooms were carefully built, designed and decorated to offer you a pleasant and intimate stay with the chance to watch and photograph fauna, such as tayras, olingos, hummingbirds, owls and much more, right from your window. Yes you read it correctly, you can snap wildlife close up right from the comfort of your room! And if that’s not enough, you have the superb views of the rainforest as a backdrop.

We have placed hummingbird and banana feeders around the lodge so that you can enjoy the company of many colored birds while enjoying your meals.
