La Selva Eco-Lodge & Retreat

B Corp
Contact us

Perched on the edge of Lake Garzacocha within the Amazon Rainforest, hours removed from the nearest town, La Selva Eco-Lodge & Retreat offers a unique experience within an extraordinary habitat.

Made up of 19 spacious suites, each with private porches or balconies and some with rainforest showers and lake views, the accommodations at La Selva Eco-Lodge & Retreat are set within traditionally constructed cabins. Large gauze-covered windows provide a steady flow of fresh air in the absence of air-conditioners, and the rooms are pierced with memorable sounds of the jungle.

Why we like La Selva Eco-Lodge & Retreat

It is possible to arrange a romantic candlelit dinner, complete with champagne and a private waiter, or to take a sunset canoe cruise over the glassy waters of the lagoon with a bottle of wine and picnic basket in tow.

Sustainability

A member of the Rainforest Alliance, an international non-profit organisation that is concerned with the global protection and rehabilitation of rainforests, La Selva Eco-Lodge & Retreat is conscious of their environmental and social responsibilities. In addition, they consciously provide opportunities for the local indigenous population by purchasing their produce and providing employment.

Activities

Embark on expertly guided walks through the rainforest, venture out on canoeing navigations atop the murky caiman-filled tributaries, hike under cover of total darkness to witness the nocturnal forests come to life and walk to the top of the canopy observation tower for an all-encompassing experience of life at the top of the canopy.

This area houses more than 500 raucous species of birds including a variety of macaws, toucans and the recently discovered cocha antshrike.
