Raúl,

I have had the good fortune to experience many of the best ecotourism facilities around the world. Few provide such a magnificent setting, fine food, excellent hospitality and amazing wildlife viewing. The birds are lucky to have such an enthusiastic champion in Panamá. Your lodge sets a high standard for others to follow. I look forward to a return visit.

Best wishes,

From the Canopy Tower - a brilliant new view of the toucans, the trees, the canal, of Panamá. All of it unforgettable. With much gratitude, hasta luego,

In its smallness it is vast, the whole universe just outside the window. It isn't often that, without the slightest effort on your part, you are launched into an adventure, a duo of you and nature. I guess I wasn't looking all these years, wasn't looking at the tender caress of nature. Canopy Tower frees you to surrender to the surroundings and you take these hours with you - home amid the asphalt - but with such vast rejuvenating memories. "SHANA TOVA",

To Raúl, Carlos, and all the staff

If there is a Paradise and if it is on Earth, then clearly it is right here at the Canopy Tower.

The natural wonders of the birds, the animals and the forest are overwhelming and a reminder of what is important in life.

There are things we must preserve and Canopy Tower, in that sense, is doing God's work.

To Raúl and the Staff of the Canopy Tower,

This is my first visit to the tropics and it has been beyond my expectations. The beauty and peace of the lodge are matched by the extraordinary birds so easily seen in the canopy. So many especial moments and vivid memories! The staff kept us so well fed and guided.

Raúl, your grace and knowledge of the local wildlife and culture added so much to the richness of our visit. I will carry the vision of this place forever.

Thank you for the experience,

-- Dianne Duesser
