*Please keep in mind all spa sessions, including massages and treatments, are unlimited but still need to be booked according to daily availability.
Every day is an adventure at La Selva—you never know what you might find along the way… a giant ceiba tree, strangler figs, walking palms, Azteca ants, heliconias, bromeliads and maybe even some forest fauna. Let the experienced guides accompany you on activities that are designed to showcase the best of the Ecuadorian Amazon. Off-site adventures include both day and night canoe rides on the lagoon where you discover a great diversity of plants and animals in two different landscapes and ecosystems, hikes on half-a-dozen trails that wind their way through the surrounding rainforest and connect with the lake, community visits to several indigenous communities and a turtle adoption program.

The Scenic Suites are located high up on the banks of the lake and define the rainforest experience.
