The Treehouse Lodge

Wow!  Let us start with that. The amount of work it must have taken to create this place boggles the mind.  There are 10 treehouses. There's a common dining area. There are stairs that go up a tree and at the top only a simple resting area and hanging bridges leaving to other tree houses. There are covered walkways. There is just so much work and effort that we were blown away.

At the top of the stairs your entry into the Treehouse Lodge is this covered walkway and sign

Hey Treehouse off in the distance as you walk up to the main area

A staging area for groups, tours and luggage

We are Treehouse number 7

More walkways leading up to our treehouse

This tree contains the stairs that you need to get up to the level of the treehouses. There's a couple of chairs that you sit in to at the top but that's all. Then there are hanging bridges that lead from there

Looking down from the top

The hanging bridge to Tree House Number 6. We had to go past 6 and then on another hanging bridge to 7.

We would only go one at a time as it was tricky, or maybe just seem to trickier than it really was

Another Treehouse off in the distance

The bed and mosquito netting

The tree containing the stairs and the sitting area from up top

We made it to our Treehouse and took a quick shower before relaxing and watching the birds, the insects, the trees, and the whole jungle

The entire Treehouse is wrapped in a netting. So the wasps and moths and a whole variety of creepy crawlers could not get in

This is our tree who's holding up the whole thing

The tree acted as a Center Post and supported the entire Treehouse. We had a trapdoor and steps that lead up to the trapdoor.

We had running water a toilet and a shower. The running water was not potable. And the shower was only cold. With the humidity and the heat we did not need a hot shower.

Here is the trapdoor it was relatively heavy. The steps leading up to it we're very steep. I guess it needs to be heavy to keep out the Jaguar!

Not a Jaguar, maybe a cougar.

This is the second hanging Bridge it's so long you really can't even see the end. The end of course is our Treehouse number 7

You can't tell but I am hanging on for dear life here. I looked back and had the grin / Grimace of a man trying not to fall to his death

I used my walking app to measure the distance from the dining Hut to our Treehouse. It is almost two tenths of a mile. And what this does not tell you is 102 steps. Many of the steps are varying lengths and widths. They were two staircases in particular that I could only go down backwards as my giant feet would not fit.
