Lost and Found Hostel offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of the lush cloud forest, where adventure awaits just a one-hour hike from the property. The trail meanders through dense foliage, filled with vibrant flora and fauna, leading hikers into a serene world suspended between earth and sky. As you trek along the winding path, the sounds of nature envelop you, creating an immersive atmosphere that captivates the senses. This journey culminates in a breathtaking encounter with one of the forest's most remarkable inhabitants: the massive strangler fig tree.

Strangler fig trees are fascinating organisms that begin their lives as epiphytes, germinating in the branches of host trees. As they grow, they send down roots that encircle the host, gradually suffocating it and eventually becoming a towering structure in their own right. This unique growth pattern allows strangler figs to thrive in their tropical environment, often reaching impressive heights. Their expansive canopies provide essential habitat for various wildlife, making them a vital component of the ecosystem. When you arrive at the strangler fig, its immense trunk and twisting roots create an awe-inspiring sight that showcases nature’s resilience and adaptability.

What makes this experience even more magical is the opportunity to walk right through the tree itself. As you approach, the hollowed trunk invites exploration, allowing visitors to step inside and feel the cool, damp air within. The sensation of being enveloped by such a colossal living organism is surreal, offering a profound connection to nature. This unique interaction with the strangler fig, combined with the enchanting beauty of the cloud forest, makes the hike from Lost and Found Hostels not just a journey through the wilderness, but a memorable adventure that deepens your appreciation for the wonders of the natural world.
