Selva Verde Lodge

Selva Verde was the vision of Giovanna Holbrook, an ornithologist and pioneer in ecotourism, who purchased a piece of land in Sarapiqui back in 1982 in order to protect it from logging. She built a guest house on the land to host visiting researchers. Today that guest house has evolved into Selva Verde, one of the most respected eco lodges in Costa Rica. Located within its own 500 acre private reserve there are 40 rooms connected by elevated walkways and 7 private bungalows located a 10 – 15 minute walk from the main lodge further into the rainforest.
