There are five volcanic hot springs fed pools that range in temperature from 99 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit. There is also a waterfall and freshwater pool adding to the ambiance. While the pools are manmade, they are built to contain and enhance the natural volcanic hot springs which feed directly into them.In addition to hot springs, the property offers several paved and lit trails so you can explore the surrounding jungle. There are large trees, broadleaf plants and many tropical flowers. It truly is a magical setting!

Monteverde Coffee and Chocolate Plantation Tour
Our experience: Don Juan – Coffee Tour, will take you to know the entire Coffee process, from the seed to the delicious cup of coffee.One of our main features is the infrastructure we have, since the Monteverde Area is well known for having a very changing climate, it goes from being very sunny and humid to heavy rains, even with a electric storms on some occasions, that is why that 100% of our trails are protected and made of cement, which will allow to enjoy the tour on sunny or rainy days. Families with children who need to take their stroller or people with some physical limitation will not have trouble walking with a walker, crutches or wheelchair.

The adventure starts flying high above the canopy  on a zip line adventure through the cloud forest Criss cross your way through the unique cloud forest canopy suspended over the forest while attached to high weight-capacity cables and using the specialized climbing gear.This tour not only combines the thrill of one of Costa Rica’s most safe and popular adventures, but also provides a unique vantage point of the cloud forest. 

Canopy tour can be swapped for the Hanging Bridges Walk. 

After your birds eye view of the  canopy,  enjoy one of the largest butterfly gardens in the Americas, which enables our garden to host more than 30 different species of butterflies from different altitudes and climates found throughout Costa Rica.

And finally, you will visit The Sloth Sanctuary!  Our sanctuary was born through the cooperation with the Caribbean Sloth Sanctuary, a foundation that shares our vision of conservation, and has worked in the rescue, conservation, reintroduction, and monitoring of sloths in their natural habitat for over 20 years. At Selvatura Park’s Sloth Sanctuary we want you to have a close experience with some 20 sloth specimens. We’ve designed a natural exhibit where sloths can travel freely between paths specially created so that they can roam among the trees and foliage of the exhibition.
