We spend three days in this amazing lodge, surrounded by the beauty of nature. This is a perfect place to relax but also to get active. Different tours are offered to explore the spectacular rainforest and farmland. Already getting there is an adventure, as you need to take the last part by 4x4, crossing rivers and already enjoying some spectacular... More

I wanna start by saying this is my first time to Costa Rica. This Lodge was not only beautiful and very intimate but adventures and very cozy. The activities are superb!! Before arriving to the Lodge they pick you up in a 4x4 Truck very Nice! You take a 30 min ride through a little Village through a River to... More

I really enjoyed Selva Bananito. We had a little Yaris that made it to the first river/giant puddle crossing--one of our new lodge friends motioned us across and from there a 4x4 is needed. This place is definitely off the beaten path and once you are there, you are pretty much taken care of. Your day is planned and meals... More

My husband and I stayed four nights in January, 2011 and were awed by the experience. It was so peaceful, sleeping in the forest, no electricity to bother the sky, completely open to the sounds of the night. Piero guided us through horseback, hiking, abseilling, canopy line, night hikes, all with such interesting information about animal and plant life. There... More

It is a bit of an adventure to get there -- a 4x4 jeep picks you up on the edge of tiny town (the name escapes me at the moment); and it's a bumpy 45 minute ride into the remote reserve -- involves crossing rivers. Apparently the river can get so flooded at times, the jeep cannot cross, so travelers... More

The Selva Bonanito Lodge is really a beauty in the middle of the jungle. We have been there 3 nights, but I could stay there for a month! It is not easy to come there and very important to go by daylight, but it is the trouble more than worth!! We came in the darkness and that was not easy,... More

We had been interested in going to Selva Bananito for a number of years. We finally decided to go over our holiday break – I wish we had not waited so long. We are a family ranging in age from 10 to 48 years and found the entire experience manageable. This wonderful eco lodge changed the way we will forever... More

Our extended family of 17, ranging in age from 6 to 73, spent 3 days at Selva Bananito and loved every minute of it - even with the constant rain in July. Jurgen and his staff are wonderfully attuned to their little piece of paradise and how guests interact with it. We did zip-lining, horse-back riding, tree-climbing, hammock surfing, hiking,... More

I liked to sleep in a so closed to nature bungalow. Life is preserved over there and if you like to live in a lodge with Earth protection in mind this is the place to be. Ask Jurgen to compensate the carbon used to go there by planting some trees, he will help you to calculate the amount. For the... More
