AboutSelvora
ASmallCountryThatKeepsOnUnfolding
Selvora plans tailor-made journeys through Costa Rica, and only Costa Rica. Focusing on one country lets us go deeper into its regions, seasons and places to stay.
Within a few hours you can move from the cool mist of the cloud forest to dry tropical forest, from volcanic highlands to Pacific surf, from Afro-Caribbean kitchens to remote rainforest reached only by boat. That variety is what makes Costa Rica so rewarding, and what makes it easy to get wrong.
Specific,NotGeneric
Costa Rica is too varied to plan from a template. The right trip in March is different from the right trip in October; the right trip for a birder is different from the right trip for a family of surfers.
DepthOverDistance
We would rather you know three places well than glimpse seven. Fewer moves, longer stays and better days.
HonestAboutTheCountry
Roads take time, rain falls, wildlife keeps its own schedule. Good planning works with all of that instead of pretending otherwise.
LightOnTheLand
Costa Rica's forests and coasts are the reason to come. We favour places to stay and experiences that treat them with care.
