Awesome experience
We loved every part of this trip. We went in 2000 so hopefully they've kept up the quality of service since then. We highly recommend this lodge!
Anaconda sighting!
My husband and I met a friend in Quito and together we did the trip to La Selva. It's hard to say what was the best thing about our stay in this magnificent tropical rainforest, but I would have to say that the people staffing the lodge were the friendliest and most informed guides we have ever encountered. The bird watching was glorious and the unexpected visit fron an anaconda on the grass near our cabins was a once in a lifetime experience.
LaSelva Jungle Lodge
I liked everything about La Selva! What a wonderful experience!
Based on My Experience
I've been in many lodges of the neotropics in my avocation as a birdwatcher. La Selva is by far the Best in Birding both in species and knowledgeable guides and accomodating food schedules. But I travel with my wife who takes the normal excursions and never have I heard her rave in the way she has about the quality and courtesy of the guiding, the attentiveness of the staff, the delicious and sumptious foods with a different fresh fruit juice at every meal and the comfort of the cabins. While I was in bed by 9 every night, she found the bartender most inventive with the fruit and vegetable creatures he would carve every night to decorate the featrured cocktail of the evening and she also enjoyed the number of free time activities between the morning and the afternoon excursions like visiting the butterfly farm and taking out a kayak in the beatiful lake. Of course we will be returning. I got about half of the over 650 documented species of birds- but that leaves the other half.
