Birding Lodge
Ypekú cabin
The Ypekú cabin allows you to be close to the main building, but in a very private way. With one bedroom, a small reading room, a balcony and a beautiful terrace, you will be surrounded by primary forest and a fantastic variety of birds.
Ypekú means "woodpecker" in guaraní language, and we have chosen this name because several sepcies like the Blond-crested Woodpecker, Lineated Woodpecker and even the rare Helmeted Woodpecker are usually found in the surrounding area. You will have a preferencial acces to the main building and the bird and hummingbird feeders giving you fanatastic oportunitties for birding and capture exclusive close up with your camera.
