If heaven was a real place it would be there. Don’t expect modern comfort but it is so authentic and immersive in nature. And staff is so nice. Perfect place to break with routine and recharge your batteries.

A lovely place, feels right in the jungle. The atmosphere is amazing and quiet if you are looking to isolate yourself and feel nature. The rooms are clean and so are the toilets. 3 minute walk from a clear and clean stream. The host family is charming and embracing, the food is organic and simply excellent. The heat recommends.

Un lugar muy bonito, alejado de toda la ciudad, sin señal, ni nadie que te moleste, ayer que fui, 27 feb. 2026, no servía el puente para cruzar, tenías que cruzar por el río, una experiencia muy buena si estás acostumbrado a mojarte y sentir el agua no llega más arriba de la rodilla el agua y se ve el camino en subida para llegar el campamento, llegué como a las 1900 hr , ya no había luz natura use lámparal, después del poblado Babilonia, es terracería, con cuidado sin problema pasas en carro pequeño, no tengas miedo, hay varias cercas de madera que tienes que abrir pero debes de cerrar es para que no se salga el ganado, siguete derecho hasta llegar a la entrada de la ventana, igual para entrar hay una cerca de madera, abrela y entra, no hay corrientre electrónica ni red telefónica, ni internet, así es que lleva lámpara y tú maps sin conexión. Es lugar es muy bonito, el agua fresca lo recomiendo mucho, lleva tu comida o si quierés comer ahí, te cobran $200 por comida, el área de camping $150 y la cabaña $900, en tu tienda de campaña no le pides nada a un cuarto pero precisamente a eso vas a vivir en la naturaleza. Tiene regaderas y letrinas,

This place is a paradise! In order to reach it you need to cross the river, but once you are there everything amazes you - from comfortable cabañas, to freshly made delicious food, to lush vegetation and gorgeous rivers. The family who lives there are the kind guardians of the place who have found their path in life. For that reason it feels like everything is in balance, everything runs very smoothly over there!

Dieser Ort ist der Himmel auf Erden!!!!!! Und er entspricht zu 1000% den Bildern, es ist wahrlich ein Paradies!!!!! Der Kristallklare Fluss ist unbeschreiblich schön! Ehrlich, für mich war es der schönste Ort unserer gesamten Mexiko Reise! Nancy, Benjamin und die gesamte Familie sind absolute Herzensmenschen!!! Die Natur ist ein absolutes Träumchen, man hat das Gefühl mitten im Dschungel zu liegen und dennoch hat man es in der Hütte total gemütlich! Man sieht seltene Schmetterlinge, Kolibris und vieles mehr. Ich kann von Herzen empfehlen den Sonntag dort zu verbringen, dann kommt man in den Genuss des leckersten Frühstücks überhaupt! Frischer Kakao, Pancakes mit Obst aus dem Garten und selbstgemachter Kakao-Creme. Ebenfalls erhält man sonntags einen Einblick, wie die Familie die Maya Kultur pflegt und lebt, was einfach nur wunderschön ist! Selbstverständlich lohnen sich auch alle anderen Tage, leckeres Essen gab's jeden Tag und die Natur hat mich einfach nur verzaubert. Der Aufenthalt im Camp La Ventana ist wirklich einzigartig, wunderschön und mehr als grandios!!!!! Ich freu mich schon auf unsere zweite Reise in dieses traumhaft schöne Fleckchen Erde!

A quiet place just by a perfect river spot for bathing. They are the most amazing hosts you could expect. The room is surrounded by nature all around and they cook delicious organic farm to table food. Highly recommended.
