Lodges Finca La Selvita Cacao experience (formerly Finca La Selvita) 

11 Jan 2025

We had an amazing time at La Selvita. The surrounding nature and the finca itself is amazing! You will find yourself in a natural habitat with lots of nature and lovely designed rooms. Especially the fresh organic food is highly recommended and if you get the chance, you should also take part in the cacao tour. The owner planted more than 5000 Cacao trees himself and shows you the full process from the raw Cacao to making chocolate bars. We can fully recommend this lovely place and if we get the chance we will definitely return to this paradise. Thank you very much for having us!

This accommodation is absolutely amazing, pure magic! ✨ A little paradise in the middle of nowwhere with the best chocolate and the best host and team! Not only does the accommodation and the view feel like you've arrived in heaven, the surrounding nature is also incredibly beautiful and a paradise! The walk to the accommodation is so worth it, you will be rewarded with the freshest chocolate you will ever eat and a view of the sea that is incomparable. The beds are extremely comfortable (the most comfortable I've had in 3 months in Colombia) and the view from the hostel is priceless! This is your place to relax, recharge, connect with nature. I can also recommend the cacao tour with Polo, he not only shows you the complete cacao process, but also how much passion and love goes into his project and all the different fruits & plants on his land! The food is also an absolute dream! Three evenings that felt more like a Michelin-starred restaurant than a hostel. Alvaro & Polo have a magical menu every evening, con mucho amor! ❤️ For all digital nomads: You have the best Starlink internet and can even work in heaven. :D

My experience at La Selvita was very special and I hope to return at some point. The staff are wonderful people and made me feel so welcome and comfortable (as did the cats). Alvaro went above and beyond, thanks for everything!! La Selvita is very remote, out in the jungle with beautiful views of the sea. I had the perfect solo trip here for 4 nights of tranquility and nature. Every day I would look forward to the food as it was always something different and always made with are and love. Thanks again for such a memorable experience, I hope you're all doing well and hopefully see you again, Megan :)

The location is just perfect. The 25 minute walk is worth it. In the middle of nowhere, with a beautiful garden (including cacao plantation) and an amazing view. The cacao tour is also very interesting, I recommend it.

Honestly, La Selvita is exceptional place! little piece of paradise in the middle of the jungle with beautiful view of the sea. Polo, the owner, was taking great care of us, serving delicious breakfast from local fruits and organic products. We also took his cacao/chocolate class with tour through the garden which made the experience even more special. I am definitely coming back one day !!! Merci, Simona

Amazing place in the middle of the jungle, 15/20 mins walking from the bus stop. Rooms are really comfortable and clean, food is incredible and the chocolate is made with 100% real Colombian cacao. Recommend this place for everyone, families, solo travelers or couples!

The surroundings and ambiance, the constant sound of the stream running right next to our open room, the different birds chirping all the time, the loose and relaxed approach of Polo and the rest of the staff, but extremely professional. The food presentation and flavours were marvellous and the chocolate Polo makes, exquisite. And of course Sildo and his helpful donkey.

Incredible experience in the world of Polo. The place is incredible, the hosts super nice. Don't miss Polo's chocolate tour, a delight.

My stay was truly an adventure and absolutely worth every moment! The room matched the photos perfectly - minimalist, stylish, and cozy. The surroundings were simply breathtaking. Here, you could fully immerse yourself in nature and unwind completely. It was evident that Pollo had poured his heart and soul into this project, and it showed in every detail. Loved the chocolate tasting too! ... and yes, it's situated up the hill in the jungle, so a certain level of fitness is required, but the view from up there makes it all worthwhile.
