Two days at Refugio Los Volcanes put you in the southern reaches of Amboró National Park: jungle treks, waterfall swims, and night walks with a local guide. This private overnight tour includes transport from Santa Cruz and lodge accommodation.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive on a sun-washed road above a steep valley, the Andes’ eastern foothills folding down into humid forest. A lookout opens the view; below, a ribbon of river cuts into green and the lodge perches where forest meets cloud. The first day feels like a slow invitation — a short drive, an orientation, and the slap of cool waterfall pools against hot skin.
