Set over a water stream, El Manu was originally a restaurant known for its great food and one of the first places to have electricity in the area leveraging hydroelectricity. The space has been preserved and includes teak floor harvested onsite within Selva Escondida, reptile statues in the flowing water beneath El Manu. The rainforest immersion hovering above flowing water is ideal for yoga and meditation. Two plexiglass panels on the floor allows you to look down upon a flowing stream below.

It is very common to find blue morphos here in the morning, and is a stunning place during the raining season.
