Our Private Reserve, Selva Bananito, is an important buffer zone or transition area to the “International Park La Amistad”. Selva Bananito Ecolodge has achieved world wide recognition as an example for Costa Rica ecotourism.
In 2008, Selva Bananito Eco Lodge was included in the list of the eight best eco lodges in Costa Rica, this time in the Times Online edition of Sept. 12th. Not only, does this confirm the continuity in our effort to excel as an eco tourism operation, but additionally, this article makes reference to the carbon offsetting that takes place at Selva Bananito and in which we have taken a lead among all other tourism service providers.
We do have the smallest Carbon Foot Print in the country for all similar operations in the tourism sector! (TIMES Online Edition, September 2008, UK) Costa Rica Ecotourism calls for sustainability as the essence of its goal, and Selva Bananito exemplifies as a Costa Rica Ecolodge the respect for nature and the need for conservation, in our case namely watershed conservation, as key elements to provide a source of income for socio economic growth for local communities, and the protection of natural resources that Costa Rica Ecotourism strives to pursue and achieve. Additionally, you can book our Costa Rica honeymoon packages or have days full of adrenaline with our Costa Rica Adventure Tours!
