Guest Testimonial:

"We have spent the most amazing days of our vacation at La Selva Lodge 4days/5 nights. We wanted to experience the jungle and were not disappointed. The accommodation were exactly what we were hoping to find in the middle of the jungle: comfortable bed, bamboo and thatch roof, no mechanical noise during the night (only the wonderful sounds of the jungle), the food was simple yet very good. The scenery is beautiful. Thanks to the staff for a great stay: special mention to our guides Paolo and Pedro who were the best teachers (highly recommend them if you go with teenagers) - made us discover and appreciate nature. If you want an adventure (swim in the lake, jungle walks, fishing for pyrahnas) this is the place. We will certainly go back." - Ladybug (March 2009)
