Audio Guide of Selvita Park

Selvita Park is open every day from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. To enter, you can buy your tickets directly at the park entrance or book them in advance through the official website, which is highly recommended during high season to secure your spot. You can find more details here: Selvita Park official website.

The general admission price for adults is USD 35. Reduced rates are available for children aged 6 to 12 for USD 20, and admission is free for children under 5. They may occasionally offer family packages or special discounts, so I suggest checking their promotions page: Selvita Park rates.

To fully enjoy Selvita Park, I recommend setting aside 3 to 4 hours. That will give you enough time to explore the different trails, observe wildlife at a relaxed pace, and take part in some of the interactive experiences without rushing. If you love photography or birdwatching, you may need a little longer.

Selvita Park is a wildlife sanctuary dedicated to conservation and education about Costa Rica’s tropical ecosystem. It was created to protect local biodiversity and offer visitors an educational immersion in the region’s flora and fauna. Its main mission is reforestation and species rescue, which gives it great ecological and educational value.

The best time to visit Selvita Park is early in the morning, just after opening, or in mid-afternoon, as wildlife activity is greater and temperatures are more pleasant. The dry season, from December to April, is ideal because there is less risk of rain, but the green season, from May to November, offers lusher scenery and fewer crowds. I suggest checking the weather forecast here.

Yes, Selvita Park has made an effort to be as inclusive as possible. There are some paved trails and ramps that make wheelchair access easier. It is recommended to contact them in advance to confirm the availability of accessible routes and whether additional assistance is needed. You can call +506 2777 5555 for more information.

Manuel Antonio is a paradise. Very close to Selvita Park, you can visit the famous Manuel Antonio National Park and enjoy beautiful beaches such as Manuel Antonio Beach or Espadilla Beach. There are also options for boat tours, dolphin and whale watching, and excellent restaurants with ocean views. You will have no shortage of ways to complement your visit.

Of course! I recommend bringing sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat or cap, and comfortable, lightweight clothing. Do not forget your binoculars for birdwatching and spotting other animals, and a camera to capture the scenery. Stay hydrated and always follow the instructions of the guides and park staff to respect the environment and wildlife. Enjoy the magic of nature!
