Costa Rica Tours

One third of the family land (415 hectares or 1,000 acres) is used for sustainable agriculture and cattle management. A great addition to any Costa Rica tour, you will find open areas such as the valley of the Bananito River and its reforested pastures, which are ideal settings for bird watching. To minimize the impact of tourists on this pristine rain forest environment, the lodge hosts only a small number of visitors at any one time.

Enjoy a guided Costa Rica tour through rain forest that harbors outstanding birdwatching. Rappel down a jungle waterfall, explore the canopy of gigantic trees, and go mountain biking. Cool off in clean streams before taking a horseback ride through a sea of greens. Sip a refreshing local drink while listening to the sounds of the night. Visit nearby beaches. Sit in our magnificent heliconia garden and let hummingbirds and poison dart frogs delight you. We invite you to come and explore, study, relax or seek adventure, and to absorb the all-around wonders of nature at Selva Bananito Lodge and Reserve.
