Costa Rica is a unique destination for exploring mountains, oceans, and stunning natural landscapes. With its small size and excellent road network, you can reach its far corners in just a few hours. It’s no wonder Costa Rica is a top destination on travel lists worldwide.
Selvatura Group invites you to explore this paradise with a complete experience. Comprising four exceptional properties—Selvatura Park, Ficus Sunset Suites, Hotel Heliconia, and Jaguarundi Jungle Lodge—the group offers an authentic experience in the heart of Monteverde, nestled in the cloud forest.
