Monteverde
Set back from the eerie rumblings of Arenal and shrouded in mist awaits one of the most outstanding wildlife sanctuaries in the tropics, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Festooned with an abundance of wildlife including over 500 species of orchid, this high elevation forest provides excellent bird-watching opportunities particularly for those seeking the elusive Resplendent Quetzal. With an extensive network of walking trails and zip wire canopy tours, visitors can enjoy intimate exploration of the forest.
