ExploreOurRegions

From the volcanoes and cloud forests of the north to two very different coastlines, Selvora plans journeys across Costa Rica, shaped around the places that suit you, the season and the way you like to travel.

  • TheNorth

    Explore
    The cone of Arenal Volcano above dense green forest

    Volcanoes, hot springs and cloud forest. Arenal's cone rising over the plains, the misty reserves of Monteverde, and the dry, sunny coast of Guanacaste. The easiest place to start, and the most varied.

  • ThePacificCoast

    Explore
    Palm silhouettes against an orange sunset over the Pacific

    Surf towns and long beaches on Nicoya, forest that runs to the sand at Manuel Antonio, whales off Uvita and the wild rainforest of the Osa Peninsula. Slow days and big wildlife.

  • TheCaribbean

    Explore
    Aerial view of palm-covered coastline and surf near Limón on the Caribbean coast

    Another rhythm entirely. Tortuguero's canals and turtle beaches, reef and forest at Cahuita, and the Afro-Caribbean cooking and culture of Puerto Viejo.
