Optional Rest Day Extension: Kashama Lodge – Valle Hermoso Rainforest Escape

For riders who want to trade saddle time for waterfalls, jungle air, and a proper reset, Kashama Lodge in Valle Hermoso is a strong optional rest day extension. Set in the rainforest near Santo Domingo, this lodge feels less like a standard hotel and more like a tropical hideout built right into the landscape — including a waterfall that runs through the property. It is the kind of place where you can park the bike, peel off the riding gear, and let the sound of moving water do the heavy lifting.

Kashama Lodge offers a swimming pool, spa services, lush gardens, rainforest surroundings, and plenty of space to relax after several days on the road. The setting is warm, green, and alive — birds, mist, heavy vegetation, and that thick jungle feeling you only get when the Andes start dropping toward the coast. For guests who still want a little movement, there are nearby natural swimming areas and rivers where you can cool off without feeling like you spent your rest day inside a hotel lobby pretending to relax.

This extension is ideal for riders who want a softer landing between mountain riding days, a romantic break during a couples’ tour, or just a full day where the boots come off and the motorcycle can sit there quietly for once.

Extension pricing:

Single rider: $350
Two people on one motorcycle: $450
