Monteverde Cloud Forest Costa Rica (2019) | Must see Costa Rica
One of the things Costa Rica is famous for is it's cloud forests and we couldn't visit Monteverde without spending a day exploring the cloud forest in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve.
Despite being budget travellers sometime we just have to splash out and this is one of those times. A short bus ride from our hostel in Santa Elena we arrived at the cloud forest reserve. We spent the day hiking though the forest and we were not disappointed, great views of the cloud forest, wonderful nature with awesome birds and animals.
The Monteverde cloud forest is definitely one of our must see sites in Costa Rica.

Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve Tours Costa Rica | Day Trips to Monte Verde Jaco Beach
Monteverde National Park Tours Costa Rica.
Monteverde Biological Reserve and Arenal Volcano Tours
Departure 7:00am from Jaco.
Let's first do the tour with the tour guide of the park, go to sleep later in the villas on the first day in the center of the city of Monte Verde.
Second day of the tour, after breakfast we go to the Arenal Volcano, where we will find the Arenal Lake.
Where you can take a lots of pictures, we are going to enjoy at baldi resort in fortuna hot springs.
Between the tour of Monteverde to Tilaran it is a proximity 1:40 duration we are going to enjoy the mountain, hills and valley landscape.
Monteverde, is an environmental playground where nature rules and conservation is part of everyday life.
Eco-tourism was born in the Monteverde Cloud forest, as well as innovative ways to experience the wonders of the area, such as canopy tours through the trees and hanging bridges connecting mountains.
Monteverde, which means Green Mountain sits on top of a 3500 foot plateau just above the Cordillera de Tilaran, a bumpy offshoot from the Inter-American Highway.
A typical Costa Rican dirt road winds in and around the hills, ridges and valleys of the Tilaran Mountain Range, leading into the yellowish grasslands, speckled with a few surviving strands of tropical dry forest.
The forest is made up of mangoes, espaves, mayflowers, coyol palms, bastard cedars, gumbo-limbos and wild cottons. Climbing higher the vegetation becomes more underdeveloped and mangled, confirmation of the brutal winds that rage in this area.
At the peak, the road is shrouded with fog and mist, even during the dry season, but the cloud forest of this biological reserve only begins after reaching the town of Monteverde.
Monteverde forms part of the Arenal Conservation Area and encompasses approximately 26,000 acres of rainforest divided between the Caribbean and Pacific sides of the Tilaran Mountain Range.
Cloud forests are a mountaintop phenomenon. Moist, warm air sweeping in off the ocean is forced upward by mountain slopes, and as this moist air rises, it cools, forming clouds.
The Monteverde mountaintops are covered on an almost daily basis in dense clouds, and when the clouds blanket the mountain slopes, moisture condenses on forest trees and other vegetation.
This constant and consistent moisture creates an incredible diversity of life forms in an area where nearly every space is occupied with some sort of plant and tree growth.
The limbs and branches of huge trees are covered with epiphytic plants: orchids, ferns, and bromeliads to be precise and subsequently there's an equally diverse population of insects, birds, and other wildlife.
With over 400 kinds of bird species, jaguars, ocelots, and tapirs, over 2,500 species of plants as well as approximately 1,200 reptilian and amphibian species, it is no wonder this a must see for any enthusiastic eco-tourist.
With that many bird species, be sure and bring your binoculars because the forest is filled with seeds and fruit that feed thousands of emerald toucanets, collared redstarts, blue-crowned motmots and black guans just to name a few.
Monteverde Biological Reserve was originally founded in 1951. Founded by a group of U.S. Quakers, who were pacifists seeking refuge from the draft, relocated there because of Costa Ricas political neutrality.
To sustain themselves, the Quakers began making cheese from milk brought to their primitive processing plant each morning by Tico dairy farmers.

Monteverde Cloud Forest || Costa Rica Rainforest Experience
The Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica is famous for its lush rainforest eco-system, amazing hanging bridge pathways, and exotic animals and insects. To access the protected cloud forest, you must pay access to one of the many 'parks' in the region, and we chose the Selvatura Adventure Park as our entry point.
Join Marti from 'Down the Wrabbit Hole Travel' as she and her little family explore the beautiful Monteverde Cloud Forest after a long road trip through the interior of Costa Rica. Walk over the hanging bridges, chase hummingbirds, and search for coatimundi among the rainforest in this revamped video.

Costa Rica Day 2 - Monteverde - Cloud Forest
What's special about this walk is that you are in a rain forest with towering tall trees, it is foggy, it is raining, and you hear the birds and the monkeys. You are walking on hanging bridges that are hundreds of feet from the forest floor. You are actually walking on the tree-tops. The views are stupendous! You feel very peaceful and one with nature.

7 - Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve
Our second day in Monteverde we booked a guided tour through the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. The tours run in the morning so that you can catch a glimpse of the clouds and abundant animals. Our guide was very informational and his english was easy to understand. We got to see a Blue Crowned Mot-Mot up close, plenty of white face Capuchin monkeys high up in the trees, and tons of beautiful fauna and flora.

Horse riding in Monteverde, Costa Rica
We used one of our free afternoons to go horse riding in Monteverde. We rode through shaded woodland to open grasslands, spotting owls, coatis and other wildlife en route. An unexpected rainbow and stunning sunset were an appropriate end to a lovely day, almost as if they were conjured there.
