Monteverde is a beautiful place. The fact that you're in the middle of a tropical cloud forest is amazing. If you're in a correct place and you're lucky, you can see the Pacific ocean and from a place called "The Window" in the reserve you can see the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The weather as expected in a cloud forest is unpredictable, there are high chances to rain at any hour of the day.
This place is focused on tourism, it means that it will be expensive. You'll find a lot of restaurants and hotels.
To get there you'll need a big car or a lot of patience to get there, because of the roads.
I visited the Reserve and you have to be prepared to walk a lot. I recommend to start early in the morning and if you have the chance pay for a guide, do it; they are trained to see things that you probably won't see.
You can do a lot of things like canopy, tree climbing, night walks, etc.
Monteverde, is one of the most beautiful places I've ever be, if you're in Costa Rica this is a must.
Nice place to walk in the rain forest without all the ziplines fuzz. Nice treks,not too hard or too easy. Nice views for pictures.
Miejsce w którym można spotkać magicznego ptaka Quetzal. Kilka możliwych ścieżek. Ponieważ jest to las w chmurach często jest potrzeba zaopatrzenia się w odpowiednie obuwie, które można wypożyczyć na miejscu przed wejściem do rezerwatu.
Lovely cloud forest reserve. It is possible to view the continental divide although during our visit it was too cloudy! Trails are well marked and accessible.
It was cool seeing the rainforest
A good place to see some cloud forest for cheaper than Monte Verde. I didn't see much wildlife but I went in the afternoon so not a great time to see some. As usual with these parks the estimated walking times assume you are 75 with a cain. I did all the trails in under 4 hours. Footwear wise I started to worry that my flip-flops would not be up for it when everyone else was wearing hiking boots and they rented out wellies but it was absolutely fine, no issues - obviously this is likely different during rainy season.
