A visitors center provides a wealth of information. Continue on to Selva Verde. Settle into our lovely Lodge, beautifully designed and perfect for bird watching. You'll enjoy wildlife close at hand. We'll have time to rest before afternoon cultural exchanges with environmental organizations to discuss issues of mutual interest.
Tonight enjoy a dinner at the Lodge with invited guests.
This morning enjoy a hike with our naturalist guide in the secondary rainforest. View the enormous variety of tropical plants and animals found here, including toucans, oropendolas, tinamoos, and umbrella birds. The raised money goes to an endowment fund to permanently protect its southerly Braulio Carrillo National Park and also acts as a role model for international conservation programs. During colonial times, nearby Puerto Viejo was Costa Rica's main port as boats set out down the Sarapiqui north to the Rio San Juan River and along what's now the Nicaraguan border to the Atlantic Ocean. We'll travel past lush jungle, spotted with bamboo huts and dynamic waterfalls.
