Travel Tips for Selva Bananito

The road to Selva Bananito will get bumpy and wet with river crossings so a four by four vehicle is highly advised. Sedan users leave their cars behind at a meeting place where they'll be picked up by lodge staff. The waterfall hike tour and other jungle walks may extenuate those eco tourists in poor condition. Selva Bananito patrons pay for seclusion and nature, this also means being far away from night life and markets. Bugs and insects are not a great issue, however the lodge supplies each room with mosquito nets for extra comfort.
