Our Story
Casa Cayuco Eco-Adventure Lodge
Casa Cayuco is located on the leeward side of Panama’s protected Isla Bastimentos, in the archipelago of Bocas Del Toro. The lodge is only accessed by boat and is a 35 minute ride from Bocas Town. Nestled at the edge of the jungle, just steps from the beach, we are one of the only resorts in the Bocas del Toro region that provides direct access to a calm and swimmable beach all year round. We strive to be as low-impact as possible in an effort to conserve our natural world by carefully weighing the environmental impact of every decision we make, from the supply chain of our food, to the electricity that powers the resort. Due to our remote location and to minimize our impact on the environment, we require a three-night minimum stay. Casa Cayuco has seven spacious accommodations that sleep between two to six people. All accommodations are hand crafted with jungle wood from Ngäbe-Buglé indigenous carpenters and designed in an open-air style, giving you the sense of being outside. Each accommodation offers an en-suite open-air bathroom, organic coconut soap and hair care products, high-powered ceiling fans, memory foam mattresses, high thread count sheets, mosquito nets and high-speed wifi. Every accommodation offers a slightly different experience, being either nestled in the jungle, up in the trees, adjoined to our main lodge, or overlooking the water. Casa Cayuco can host up to 30 guests in total, but it only takes a group of 14 to reserve the whole lodge! We’re constantly learning new ways to improve our way of life and lower our impact on the planet further. By promoting a greater understanding and appreciation for nature, we hope to inspire others to make subtle changes for the betterment of mankind. Join in on the adventure, today. Casa Cayuco Team
Our Activities
Our Rooms
At Casa Cayuco, we believe the most important tenet of ecotourism is having a positive impact on local communities. 100% off our team is from Salt Creek. Salt Creek (Quebrada Sal) is a Ngäbe-Buglé indigenous village located 30 minutes by foot from Casa Cayuco. Salt Creek is one of the largest and most remote Ngäbe villages in the Bocas del Toro archipelago. Roughly 900 people live in Salt Creek and over 250 are students between the ages of 5 and 15 years old. Casa Cayuco employs 20 people from Salt Creek, who in turn support over 150 people in the village. Casa Cayuco and our guests have a very special relationship with the Salt Creek community. Just by staying with us, you help fund several service projects in the village throughout the year.
