    The lowest, under the fig, with the stream running below it. The one to take with a fear of heights.

Los anfitriones

Joseph's grandfather planted pepper and coffee on this slope; the rainforest at the top of it he left alone, which is why the fig trees are still there. We built the first treehouse in one of them in 2018, on a frame that is bolted to nothing and tied to the tree with rope, so the tree can keep growing. There are three now, at six, nine and fourteen metres. You climb to each by a ladder or a rope bridge, sleep in the canopy with the hornbills, and come down for breakfast on the estate. It rains a great deal in the monsoon, and that is the best time to be up there.

Bueno saber

Is it safe to climb?

The ladders and the bridge have hand ropes and are checked every week. The Fern has stairs for anyone who would rather not climb.

What about insects and leeches?

There are nets over every bed and leech socks at the foot of each tree in the monsoon.

Can children stay?

Over ten, in the Fern or the Hornbill. The Crow's Nest is for adults.

Is there power up there?

Lights and a charging point in each treehouse, on solar with a backup.
