El Pangue Lodge Protocols
Pangue Lodge’s grounds are dotted with cabins ranging in size from studio to three-bedroom options all along 39,5 acres. In Covid-19 stigmatized times, one bedroom cabins are a great choice for a secluded and cozy escape in the middle of the woods, with no risks of shared areas. Our two to three-bedroom cabins are completely self-sufficient and independent, featuring a kitchen and living room overlooking Risopatron lake so every family enjoy within a safe zone.
We expect to provide a good service under these new conditions so you can enjoy of such beautiful place as this one. We are also aware of the local authorities’ news to be able to operate and guarantee our visitors’ safety.
