We stayed 2 nights and had guided tours of birds and wildlife along the many trails that lead from their property. Very remote and quite primitive, yet comfortable and safe. Food was average, yet tasty (bring wine/beer or request it before you get there). We drove in with a rental car. Beware of steep slippery drive (best to may be... More

I am a serious birder (I was hoping for Xernoris and Sapayoa). I expected to be guided by an English speaking guide in a group of other serious birders. The only other people at the lodge were a family of 5 (parents and kids 12-17) The first day the only option provided was going out with them. The second day... More

Being a lover of the outdoors, it was an awesome experience for me... We went on a nice hike where we saw Puma, Tapir, and Javeline tracks... I am not much of a bird watcher, but I was even able to catch a glimpse of a very rare bird called a Xonornis, which means nothing to me...but apparently is a... More

Our trip to Panama was a multiple stop tour of many areas of the country, Burbayar Lodge is not our first eco resort, so we were expecting limited services and rustic conditions. Jose is the primary guide. Our intention of staying here was birding and adventure hikes. Jose is truly incredible. His knowledge of nature is staggering including the full... More

I would recommend Bubayar if you’re seeking solitude, don’t mind basic accommodations and a unique nature experience. Upon arrival at the airport, we were greeted by a transporter arranged by the resort. Unfortunately, we speak very little Spanish and our driver didn’t speak any English so we weren’t able to communicate. After a 1 ½ hour car ride, we were... More

I'd like to add to the good reviews of Burbayar. We loved it there. The food was simple but delicious & there was plenty of it. The cabins were comfortable and well appointed for a remote lodge with no hot water & electricity for only an hour or two each evening - note: take a flashlight. Our cabin had a... More

My partner and I visited Burbayar Lodge to do some birding last week. We were very impressed with the facility. While there I had a very unfortunate accident. More on that later in the review. The area around the lodge is spectacular and, to put it tritely, a real paradise for birding. Its very interesting habitat and the birds were... More

This serene spot is perfect for anyone who loves to be in nature. Even if you're not a hard-core birder, as most of the guests are, the immensely knowledgable, professionally trained guides (included in the rates) will take you on easy walks or demanding hikes (your choice) , to see monkeys, sloths, frogs, snakes, fungi, plants. Can even go out... More

We went to Burbayar for the second time. Last year we only went for 1 night but that was not enough to see al beauty around this place. The owner picks you up at the airport (or another meeting point) and brings you in 4x4 to Burbayar Lodge. The ride is almost 2 hours from Tocumen airport. The lodge is... More
