We love the proximity to Limoncocha, but Estación DRAGO / DRAGO NORTE 01 offers its own unique wildlife encounters. While you'll find many of the same species, the immediate camp area is fantastic for spotting smaller wonders like poison dart frogs and numerous bird species right outside your door.
