About Monteverde
Monteverde sits at 1,400 meters in the cloud forest—a misty, cool realm where quetzals hide in the canopy and epiphytes drape from every branch. The reserve's hanging bridges let visitors walk through the clouds at canopy level, creating an otherworldly experience. Monteverde's climate is cooler than lowland Costa Rica, making it an escape from beach heat.
