Giovanna and Juan Holbrook built the Lodge in 1985 to conserve 500 acres of lowland rainforest in the heart of Costa Rica. The tranquil setting is ideal for guest interested in exploring the intricate balance of nature in the world’s precious rainforest. Whether you are walking along the thatched walkways graced with tropical plants or bird watching on the suspension bridge connecting the ecolodge with rainforest reserve, this idyllic haven is sure to enchant and inspire a feeling of serenity. “Selva Verde Lodge is an impressive sanctuary with a warm, lush forest of towering trees, the cool, clear Sarapiquí River and the animals that roam freely in the forest. It’s how I envision the Garden of Eden!”
