About this route

Lost and Found is the jungle eco-hostel perched in the cloud forest on the Fortuna road, halfway between the Pacific side and Bocas. This leg drops you at the trailhead; from there it is a short hike up to the lodge. A favourite stop for travellers breaking the long Pacific-to-Caribbean crossing into two days.
