Monteverde sits high in Costa Rica’s Tilaran range, where moisture-laden air creates cloud forest rich in epiphytes, birds and dense vegetation. The cooler climate is an immediate contrast to the Pacific lowlands.
Inside the cloud forest
Guided walks are the best way to understand an ecosystem where much of the detail can otherwise be missed. Birding is particularly rewarding, while canopy bridges provide a different view through the forest.
Pairing Monteverde
Winding road access means the journey takes time, but that relative isolation preserves the region’s character. Monteverde combines naturally with Arenal and the Pacific coast.
