Selva Verde is a rainforest lodge built on stilts over the Sarapiqui river. This expansive complex stands on the edge of a 2-square km private reserve of rain forest. Its 40 rustic but comfortable rooms are raised on pillars over the jungle and they are all connected by covered walkways that lead to a riverside dining room were meals are served buffet-style and an open lounge area with wide verandas.
Selva Verde has received a green raiting from the new key to Costa Rica for its commitment to enviromental education and community support. Its owners, long concerned with the wellbeing of the local community, have established the Sarapiqui Conservation Learning Center, with the only library in the area, a day-care center, and English environmental classes.
