ACTIVITIES
Cuatro Cascadas
There are a group of towering waterfalls within a 15 minute bus ride from the Lost and Found. Take a half day and set out to explore each one. You will find that each waterfall has a natural pool for swimming and large boulders to lay out and catch some sun. This is a great adventure if you like hiking with distinct destinations. Remember to pack your swimsuit, suntan lotion and camera. Just one bus away from the hostel, emerge yourself into the dep in town four waterfalls.
Gualaca River Canyon
Nature has created the perfect playground for everyone. Brave the 5 meter high cliffs and jump in for an amazing adrenaline rush; or if you are more the quiet sun worshiper, turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
The river canyon catches all the local sun and is the perfect place to pack a little picnic lunch, maybe a beer or two and spend a day.
Celestine Waterfall
Located at the end of a high, narrow canyon, the 30m Celestine Waterfall is one of the hidden jewels of the Palo Seco National Park.
Climb through the boulder strewn creek bed, swim through rugged sections to reach The Chamber, a natural room of thundering water and forbidding stone with walls so high that the sun's beams can only penetrate at midday.
Only a few minutes from the road, the Celestine Waterfall is still so well hidden that only those who know exactly where to look for the secret entrance can ever behold it. We have the map!
Join a Yoga class in the Clouds
No special requirements, skills, or flexibility are needed for our community classes, therefore our classes are open to travelers of all levels.
Together let’s have an enriching yoga experience in our jungle retreat, where you can practice outdoors surrounded by the beauty of nature. Our classes start at just $5 per person, and we provide free yoga equipment, including mats and blocks, for all guests. Depending on instructor availability, we offer a variety of yoga styles to suit your needs.
Classes are open seasonally, depending on the availability of our teachers.
Jungle Hikes
Located within the La Fortuna Nature Reserve, we offer access to over 10 kilometers of hiking trails. You can spend hours, or days, exploring the almost magical diversity of the forest. Enjoy a wide range of flora, including bromeliads and orchids. Happen upon a family of monkeys or let your mind wander when listening to the lyrical songs of the many birds. Search for clues hidden in the forest on our Indiana Jones Treasure Hunt, or simply take haven at the river and refresh yourself in its cooling waters.
For safety reasons, the trails are opened during dry season only.
The Valley On Horseback
Explore the Panamanian hill country on horseback! Ride with local guides through rugged gullies, forests and meadows, taking in incredible vistas of the rivers and lakes of the province of Chiriquí.
Have a traditional lunch in the village of Peña, two hours from the nearest road, and see how the campesinos really live in rural Panama, where meals are cooked over fires, sugar cane is squeezed by hand, and every man knows how to lasso a steer.

OR ONE MORE ADVENTURE?

Similar to our breakfast and lunch, our kitchen offers a mix of traditional and local Panamanian dishes sure to make your taste buds water.
Your day doesn’t always have to end there. At the Lost and Found there is always at least one more adventure that awaits you!
Night Safari
Set out with one of our staff members after the sun has set to find the creatures of the night. When darkness falls half the jungle goes to bed and the other half wakes up to start roaming around. Come with us on a night hike and see if we can find the nocturnal treasures of the cloud forest.
The night hike is available weather and guide permitting.
Cost: $10 per person.
Jungle Lounge Bar
The bar is where strangers become teammates, rivals, and occasionally questionable life advisors.
Hosted by our volunteers and located away from the sleeping areas, it's the perfect place to grab a drink, meet fellow travelers, and discover that you're much more competitive than you thought.
Foosball - Think you're good? So does everyone else.
Challenge your fellow guests, but be warned: if the owner happens to be around, you’re most likely going down.
Beer Pong - A house favorite.
Play by the house rules, take on the volunteers, and if you're good enough, you might earn a shot at the championship belt.
Giant Jenga - The game Lost and Found is best known for.
With our own set of rules, every block matters. One wrong move and you'll be remembered forever. At least until tomorrow.
Whether you're here to compete, socialize, or just enjoy a cold drink after a day in the jungle, chances are you'll end up staying longer than planned…
That's usually how it starts.
