Majestic trees, wild orchids, bromeliads, and a wealth of ferns, vines and mosses welcome travelers. The ecosystem is home to jaguar, ocelot, Baird’s tapir, threewattled bellbird, and the famously elusive resplendent Quetzal. The cloud forest is perpetually nurtured by mists from the coast. On many of our Costa Rica tours, private guides, expert at identifying the flora and fauna, take guests into the primeval world of this great greenhouse of old-growth cloud forest filled with birds and splendid trees adorned with orchids. Monteverde also has a delightful treetop experience using the Sky Trek cable and harness system for an adventurous bird’s eye view of the canopy.
