 Welcome to Selva Verde

A TRULY UNIQUE COSTA RICAN ECO-LODGE 

 

December news from Selva Verde Lodge

SELVA VERDE NEWS

 

The road to La Fortuna…is paved and officially open!

We are thrilled to report that the Chilamate Vuelta Kooper Highway is officially open! The highway is a direct route designed to connect the region of La Fortuna/Arenal with locations to the east, like Sarapiquí and Selva Verde Lodge. What used to be a long and windy journey, on less than ideal roadways is now only an hour-long drive on smooth, paved road.

Selva Verde is now 97% online!

It’s been a long time coming and we are eager to reveal that Selva Verde Lodge now has almost complete high-speed internet coverage throughout the lodge—reception, the bar/restaurant, all of the Sarapiquí rooms, and Casona, Pioneer and Chilamate apartments are all officially online.

The night of September 9, 2022, during a night hike, our guide Randy Alvarado managed to spot in the primary forest of Selva Verde Lodge a species that is exceptionally hard to find in Costa Rica, a velvet worm (Onicóforo in Spanish). This is one of the oldest living beings in evolutionary terms, as it is known they exist since the Cambrian Period, more than 515 million years ago.
