Day 1: Arrive at Selva Negra

After breakfast this morning in Leon, you are picked up and transferred to Selva Negra. Upon arrival, settle in, have lunch, and spend the remainder of the day exploring this truly unique farm and ecolodge.

The nature reserve on which the Ecolodge rests is classified as cloud forest. This area is rich with plant and animal life and home to exotic and elusive bird species, stunning vistas of fog-shrouded valleys and mountains, and rare rainforest flowers, trees, and vines. Enjoy a self-guided hike through the grounds this afternoon, or pay a visit to the farm animals as you settle in to your Nicaragua rainforest lodge.

In the evening, relax lakeside and partake in a delicious meal consisting of organically-grown fare raised onsite.

Day 2: Free Morning & Coffee Tour

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and a free morning to explore the grounds and take part in some onsite optional activities. We recommend the guided hour and a half tour of Selva Negra's sustainable farm and community. Take a unique look into the sustainable farming and the roles that history, climate, topography, and social programs have played in the development and operation of the estate. Other activity suggestions include a hike or horseback ride on the reserve's rainforest trails. Or visit the local the museum and artisan shop. If you don't mind a drive, you can also arrange to drive into Matagalpa to explore the town.

After lunch, join a small group guided tour of Selva Negra's coffee estate. On this walking tour, see the process of coffee production from seed to cup. Learn about the nurseries and organic laboratories. During harvest time (Nov-Feb) you may be able to witness the bean picking and weighing process. Sample the product at the end in the museum with a complimentary cup of coffee.

After your tour, spend the evening relaxing on the farm and enjoy dinner by the lake.

Day 3: Return to Managua

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
