Founded in 1985, Selva Verde Lodge is located in the verdant lowlands of northeastern Costa Rica on an extensive private tract of pristine tropical rainforest and rich second-growth habitats. Its exclusive location and intimate atmosphere personify the very essence of Costa Rican grace and charm.

Its proximity to Braulio Carrillo National Park allows guests easy access to the countless varieties of plant and animal species that thrive in this unique and fragile tropical environment.

The Selva Verde Lodge features 40 double (or triple occupancy) rooms with private baths and showers and 5 quadruple rooms with shared facilities. The comfortable rustic-style rooms are well maintained and open onto large, spacious, wooden balconies.

A spacious dining room near the river serves as the setting for delicious meals, featuring local cuisine and served by gracious Costa Ricans.

Visitors to La Selva Verde may immerse themselves in a wide range of activities suited to every interest and ability, from relaxing in a hammock and absorbing the wonder of the forest, to a jungle boat ride on the Sarapiquí, or hiking Selva Verde's rainforest trails with a resident naturalist.

Guests may also enjoy a visit to Selva Verde's unique butterfly garden where they will learn about the world of butterflies, the plants and flowers they are attracted to, and how the garden is maintained. Daily guided horseback riding excursions through the surrounding countryside are also available.
