monteverde cloud forest hiking tour
The Monteverde Biological Cloud Forest Reserve is one the most developed and well-maintianed natural attractions in Costa Rica. The trails are clearly marked, regularly traveled, and generally gentle in terms of ascents and descents. The cloud forest here is lush and largely untouched. Still, keep in mind that most of the birds and mammals are rare, elusive, and nocturnal. More over, to all but the most trained of eyes, those thousands of exotic ferns, orchids, and bromeliads tend to blend into one lorga mass of indistinguishable green. However, with a guide hired through our hotel you can see and learn far more than you could on your own.
