    MANDIÑAN TRAIL

    Heading out from the lodge, your guides can lead you on half-a-dozen trails that wind their way through the surrounding rainforest and connect with the lake. You never know what you might find along the way… A giant

    ceiba tree, strangler figs, walking palms, Azteca ants, heliconias, bromeliads, and maybe even some forestfauna — if you’re lucky.

    Cross Garzacocha Lake, walk through untouched forest to observe the Giant Kapok Tree (Ceiba

    Pentandra) and the Strangler Fig Tree (Ficus sp), as well as other plant and animal species that can be

    seen along the trail; arrive at the lodge for lunch. It takes about four and a half hours for the whole loop.

    Length: 14370 ft / 4380 m

    Head east at the Mandiñan trailhead, followed by a walk back to Garzacocha lake. 3 - 4 hour walk.

    Surprises can be found on the way.

    Length: 4868.8 ft / 1484 m

    Short trip by foot around the edge of Lake Garzacocha. Return by canoe to the lodge.

    Length: 1112.2 ft / 339 m

    Length: 961.29 ft / 293 m

    This is a short 2-hour walk around the lodge where you will get a general idea of the tropical rainforest (flora, fauna & microfauna).
