Reviews
La Selva Biological Research Station: La Selva is a working biological research station that accepts paying guests. If you are a guest you are free to wander the trails on the 1,600-hectare property that is teeming with flora and fauna. Non-guests are only allowed on guided tours.
The accommodations are pretty basic; a step up from summer camp, but it is all-inclusive (😜) with three meals a day provided. While definitely not luxurious, it is a fantastic opportunity to see birds and other wildlife. We stayed in one of the 2-bedroom family houses and so had a fully equipped kitchen that was great for keeping drinks cold in the refrigerator and making coffee. We ate all of our meals in the canteen.
