La Amistad Lodge
About 3km by poorly-maintained dirt road from the village of Las Mellizas, this lodge sits on 100 sq km ...
All of the ranger stations, including Altamira, have camping facilities (per person US$6). There are basic hostels (per person US$10 to US$12) at Santa María de Pittier and at the base of Cerro Kamuk. These camps and hostels offer drinking water and toilets, and – in the case of Altamira – electricity. All food and supplies must be packed in and out.
Asoprola also runs a small, simple lodge and can make arrangements for lodging in local homes in the village of Altamira for a resonable fee (usually US$10 to US$15 per person). For an intimate look at the lives of people living on the fringes of the rainforest, there is no better way than to arrange a homestay. Besides the options listed here, see the Reserva Biológica Dúrika, which is contained within the borders of the park.
