Take a Walk Through The Clouds in The Forests of Monteverde

Central Highlands

Monteverde's cloud forests are the stuff of legend, and rightfully so. These Costa Rican forests are actually quite rare, covering only one percent of global woodlands, but what is a cloud forest and why would you spend your vacation at one? This special type of forest takes on a hazy, dream-like appearance thanks to low clouds and a thick canopy which retains moisture and fog — the result? A humid environment full of amazing plants and animals.

Even if you love big cities, the beauty of a Monteverde cloud forest is undeniable. You can soar through the trees on a zip line, or walk within the canopy on a suspension bridge where you will have the chance to come eye to eye with tree-dwelling forest creatures. Stay on the ground and let a naturalist guide help you identify all kinds of plants and wildlife. If you're an early riser, there are plenty of opportunities to go birdwatching and see toucans, and even the elusive resplendent quetzal.

Magic and wonder are just a trip away, and they're waiting for you in the cloud forests of Monteverde, Costa Rica.
