The area around La Selva is excellent for birding. With perhaps the highest species list (around 600) in the neotropics, the lodge uses native birding experts for those guests with this singular passion.
The accommodation is in rustic cabins built to local native design and in keeping with the surroundings. Each of the 17 double cabins are built in the traditional indian style of the region and are set on a hill overlooking the Garzacocha Lake. The rooms have private bathrooms with hot showers, mosquito screening, individual mosquito nets for each bed, and a hammock.
La Selva Lodge has a reputation for its excellent food which blends local ingredients with French, North American and Ecuadorian dishes. Expect to try many tropical fruit juices, and freshly caught local fish (when available).
Native guides are included to show guests the hundreds of species of birds in the park, and it is also common to see monkeys, caimans and a variety of insect life.
