Region of the well-known and eponymous cloud forest, where ecotourism takes on a flavor of adventure.

My suggestion

Don't be afraid to go on a night excursion into the forest. The atmosphere is magical and enchanting, and there are all kinds of insects to see. Heart-stopping moments guaranteed!

My suggestion

If you are traveling by your own means, you will need a 4x4 to reach Monteverde; because we are no longer talking about roads here, but rather tracks and trails strewn with rocks and potholes. You'll have to be patient in getting there.

Among the many different types of countryside that you'll find in Costa Rica we should mention Monteverde, with its misty forests and suspended bridges.... Situated in the province of Puntarenas in the north west of the country it's highly rated by tourists.

My suggestion

You'll need several days (more than a weekend) to make the most of the area because, contrary to what you might think, there are several sites to see and they are quite far apart.
