Amazing Ecolodge

August 2025
What am amazing place! Right in the middle of the rainforest, beautiful lodge and amazing service. From the moment we arrived, the staff was very hospitable. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautiful. Both naturalist guides were very knowledgeable and showed us a variety of different animals! And the food, wow! It was amazing! I am vegetarian and they did such a great job accommodating me. They were even able to provide many options to my daughter who is generally a picky eater.

Overall this was such a wonderful and memorable trip and I would definitely recommend La Selva! 


Amazing Family Vacation

June 2025
Amazing rainforest experience. Know it takes hours to get to the lodge from Coca, but it is certainly worth it. The last part of the journey is a hand paddled canoe ride through a small creek with animals and foliage. It is magical! The food was amazing given that they have to boat everything in and the rooms are very comfortable. It is remarkable to have so much luxury surrounded only by nature. Even WiFi! Guides and staff are friendly and knowledgable. I wish we had more say over the activities we could do, but everything they planned for us was special and terrific – so it did not really matter that we did not get to choose. We were on a vacation with our two 20-something sons and they both enjoyed the trip as well. A wonderful lodge for all ages.
