Selva Bananito Add On Package

Selva Bananito Lodge, which opened its doors in December of 1995, is a secluded rain forest lodge situated 20 km south and 15 km inland of Puerto Limon on the Atlantic side of Costa Rica. It is owned and operated by the Stein family, who moved to Costa Rica from South America in 1974. We generate income from tourism for the protection of 850 hectares (2,000 acres) of privately owned rain forest, and for the funding of special conservation projects there and in neighboring areas.In addition to being available for independent travelers interested in the rain forest, we offer a rain forest study program for high school and college students, a Spanish immersion program, and we will soon open our doors to scientific researchers. Our family company also offers nature and adventure tours programs throughout most of Costa Rica and Panama.
