    We learned a lot about how this great company was created. It's very nice to see. The sobaos tasting was very good. All very well.

A Glimpse into the Past

The roots of Selaya go back centuries, with a history shaped by its agricultural traditions and unique location along the Pas River.

When to Visit

Summer months are especially lively with local festivals and outdoor activities, while autumn brings spectacular colors to the hills and forests. Winters are more peaceful and ideal for visitors seeking solitude.
