Canopy Lodge is situated just outside El Valle de Aton in the foothills (approx. 600m) and takes roughly 2 hours to get to by road from the Canopy Tower. The lodge sits by the river and there's plenty of birds in the grounds including the handsome Rufous-crested Coquette. Just above the lodge there are a few patches of mainly mature secondary forest but extensive forested areas are pretty non-existant in the immediate area. Excursions to forest patches a little higer such as Cerro Gaital and La Mesa can be arranged at the lodge.
