Selva Verde is a rainforest lodge, meaning it is dedicated to educating its guests on the wonders and natural beauty of Costa Rica’s tropical rainforest. Beyond its roughly 76.8ha/190 acres of preserved rainforest, the lodge boasts a resident naturalist, local guides, and an ever-expanding reference library.
These include spaces especially designed for meetings, lectures, and classrooms.
Accommodations, featuring mostly wooden and rustic décor, offer a comfortable refuge hidden within the jungle.
Selva Verde allows guests to come into close contact with nature while at the same time offering them the comfort of the hotel’s excellent amenities.
Every morning there is a free bird watching tour with an specialized tour guide

The rainforest bungalows offer air conditioning as well as ceiling fans and screened windows. Discreetly tucked into the forest uphill from the botanical garden, they are across the road from the River Lodge and public areas. The secluded location affords a peaceful ambiance for relaxing and keeping an eye out for wandering wildlife. The bungalows are great for honeymooners and those desiring a little extra comfort and privacy while experiencing the wonder of the rainforest.
There is a 10-15 minute walk from the reception area is along a lit and almost completely covered walkway making a very enjoyable, scenic walk via the botanical garden and secondary forest trails. They have vehicle support for luggage transfers and other times when walking would not be advantageous.
Please note, however, that parts of the walk are uphill and have a number of wide stair steps. If walking on stairs or up inclines is difficult, the bungalows are not recommended.

CST gives you reliable information regarding companies that make efforts to improve their management and operations to offer a sustainable product. It is also a good tool to differentiate those companies that are truly engaged with sustainable practices, from others that claim to be sustainable but are inconsistent in their actions.
