At Selva Verde you get a great feel of how it is to live surounded by the forest. The rooms are beautiful and you even get the opportunity to go on a night hike at the lodge, which gives you the opportunity to see the little creatures of Costa Rica.

Learning AFAR, in partnership with Global Explorers, promotes cross-cultural exchange by sending students on trips to experience other parts of the world. Sponsorship assistance from the Pearson Foundation, Schlumberger, and Wimmer Solutions makes the trips possible. Donate at afar.com/foundation.
